Opis

This book introduces Critical Translation Studies (CTS), a cultural-studies approach to the study of translation to Translation Studies (TS) scholars. The central claim in CTS is that translators help condition the primal scene of translation: two languages, two language communities, with the translator as mediator.

Recenzje

'The book is interesting and illuminative. With a strong inclination to avoid misunderstandings between the Oriental and the Occidental, it can present fare dialogues among different cultures and seek a critical evaluation of translation studies in the past and the present.' -- LUO Xuanmin
