A history of modern translation knowledge: sources, concepts, effects - 142

Breaking with tradition of viewing history through the reductive lens of schools, theories, turns or interdisciplinary exchanges, this title challenges the artificial distinction between past and present and it sustains that the latter's historical roots go back far beyond the 1970s.

Translation Studies is but part of a broader set of discourses on translation we propose to label 'translation knowledge'.

This work concentrates on seven processes that make up the history of modern translation knowledge.

All processes are covered by 58 domain experts and allocated over 55 chapters, with cross-references.

This title is for advanced Master- and PhD-students in Translation Studies who need background information on the history of their field, with relevance for Europe, the Americas and large parts of Asia, and will interest students and scholars working in cultural and social history.
