Summary:

"The genesis of the present volume was the 9th Congress of the European Society for Translation Studies, held in Stellenbosch, South Africa, in September 2019 - the first time the event took place outside Europe. "Living Translation - People, Processes, Products" was the Congress theme. A common thread, whether as a methodological or analytical basis, as a descriptive framework or as a subject in itself, was that of "flows" and the "flowing" nature of translation. The contributions in this book draw on a productive framework of networks and flows, and foreground the inherent spatial and temporal diversity of Translation Studies. Translation as a social practice is the golden thread throughout the volume - not just "translation" in the conventional sense, between languages and cultures, but over artificial borders, into new spaces, between non-traditional agents and actors, and through various genres and mediums. Chapters are clustered loosely based on the temporality of the topic under discussion. Work on and from the Global North constitutes the first section, and the second complements this by bringing the Global South into the picture as well. This state-of-the-art research will stimulate robust scholarly discussions as we map our way forward as a living discipline"-- Provided by publisher.
