Translating and interpreting as a social practice is now
increasingly determining daily routines in a globalising
world. This volume deals with the most significant questions
of translation sociology as a new field of research in
translation studies. The contributions show the social
implications of translating and interpreting in various
fields: translation trends between individual cultures, the
social construction of images through translation,
ideological restraints of translation production, the powerful
relations between the actors in the translation process
and finally the instances involved in the creation of
translations.
Michaela Wolf is professor at the Department
of Translation Studies, University of Graz, Austria. Areas
of teaching and research interest are translation sociology,
cultural aspects of translation, translation history,
postcolonial translation, feminist translation.
