Crosscultural Transgressions offers explorations and critical
assessments of research methods and models in translation studies,
and points up new questions and directions. Ranging from
epistemological questions of description and historiography to the
politics of language, including the language of translation
research, the book tackles issues of research design and
methodology, and goes on to examine the kind of disciplinary
knowledge produced in translation studies, who produces it, and
whose interests the dominant paradigms serve. The focus is on
historical and ideological problems, but the crisis of
representation that has affected all the human sciences in recent
decades has left its mark. As the essays in this collection explore
the transgressive nature of crosscultural representation, whether
in translations or in the study of translation, they remain
attentive to institutional contexts and develop a self-reflexive
stance. They also chart new territory, taking their cue from
ethnography, semiotics, sociology and cultural studies, and
tackling Meso-American iconic scripts, Bourdieu's constructivism,
translation between philosophical paradigms, and the complexities
of translation concepts in multicultural societies.
