Originally published in 1993, Translation as Social Action is a
varied collection of essays, which addresses translation as social
action as its central theme, the book proposes a model of the
translator as an agent in his or her own right. Translation is seen
not just as a transfer of meanings from one language to another,
but rather as an arena in which different cultures meet in the
person of the translator. This perspective provides a complete
contrast to Western translation studies, concerned with whether or
not translation is really possible. Together the essays reveal a
distinct tradition grappling with the most important topics in
translation studies in ways that are different and challenging. The
collection is essential reading for translation studies, as well as
providing an interesting perspective on comparative literature and
Eastern European studies.
