A critically acclaimed foundational text, Translation in Systems
offers a comprehensive guide to the descriptive and systemic
approaches which have shaped translation studies. Theo Hermans
considers translation norms, equivalence, polysystems and social
systems, covering a wide range of theorists in his discussion of
the principles of translation studies. Reissued with a new foreword
by Kathryn Batchelor, which updates the text for a new generation
of readers, Translation in Systems endures partly on account of
Hermans's vivid and articulate writing style. The book covers the
fundamental problems of translation norms, equivalence, polysystems
and social systems, encompassing not only the work of Levy, Holmes,
Even-Zohar, Toury, Lefevere, Lambert, Bassnett, D'hulst and others,
but also giving special attention to contributions derived from
Pierre Bourdieu and Niklas Luhmann. Hermans explains how
contemporary descriptive approaches came about, what the basic
ideas were, how those ideas have evolved over time, and offers a
critique of these approaches. With practical questions of how to
investigate translation (including problems of definition,
description and assessment of readerships), this is essential
reading for graduate students and researchers in translation
studies and related areas.
