In this book, Piotr Blumczynski explores the central role of
translation as a key epistemological concept as well as a
hermeneutic, ethical, linguistic and interpersonal practice. His
argument is three-fold: (1) that translation provides a basis for
genuine, exciting, serious, innovative and meaningful exchange
between various areas of the humanities through both a concept (the
WHAT) and a method (the HOW); (2) that, in doing so, it questions
and challenges many of the traditional boundaries and offers a
transdisciplinary epistemological paradigm, leading to a new
understanding of quality, and thus also meaning, truth, and
knowledge; and (3) that translational phenomena are studied by a
broad range of disciplines in the humanities (including philosophy,
theology, linguistics, and anthropology) using various, often
seemingly unrelated concepts which nevertheless display a
considerable degree of qualitative proximity. The common thread
running through all these convictions and binding them together is
the insistence that translational phenomena are ubiquitous. Because
of its unconventional and innovative approach, this book will be of
interest to translation studies scholars looking to situate their
research within a broader transdisciplinary model, as well as to
students of translation programs and practicing translators who
seek a fuller understanding of why and how translation matters.
