Bourdieu's key concepts of habitus, field and capital have been
adopted or adapted to elaborate the social and cultural nature of
translation or interpreting activity, to locate this activity
within social structures and social institutions, and to analyse
the cultural, historical and political specificity of translation
and interpreting practices. This special issue of The Translator
explores the emergence and subsequent development of Bourdieu?s
work within translation and interpreting studies. Contributors to
this volume offer their critical assessment of the force of
Bourdieu?s arguments in clarifying, strengthening or challenging
existing analyses of the role of the social in translation and
interpreting studies. The topics include a consideration of the
role of habitus and symbolic/linguistic capital in translation and
interpreting within the legal field; a critical evaluation of how
educational sign language interpreters serve to reinforce the
continuation of exclusionary practices toward deaf pupils within
mainstream schooling; a critique of the dominant historiography of
the early translations of Shakespeare?s drama in Egypt; an
exploration of Bourdieu?s concepts of habitus, capital and illusio
in relation to the formation of the literary field in France and
America in the 19th and 20th century; a re-evaluation of the
potential for a theoretical alliance between Latour? s
actor-network theory and Bourdieu?s reflexive sociology; and a
discussion of the ethnographic epistemological foundations of
Bourdieu?s work with reference to political asylum procedures in
Belgium. From varying perspectives, the papers in this volume
demonstrate the contribution of Bourdieu?s work toward the
continued elaboration of sociological perspectives within
translation and interpreting studies.
