Summary

"This volume explores historical, cultural, linguistic, technological and institutional influences on Translation Studies (TS). It brings together self-reflexive case studies and juxtaposes them in order to provoke discussion on the role of contemporary researchers in the discipline of TS. The contributions cover various aspects of positionalities and its influences on translation research, including activism, gender, technology, infrastructure, experiential knowledge, and geopolitics, showing that TS as a discipline is not a monolith but consists of various histories interconnected with each other"-- Provided by publisher.
