The two parts speak to each other as two sides of the process of training researchers. The voices in the first part belong to professors teaching or supervising research in our international doctoral program in Translation and Intercultural Studies. Those in the second part are doctoral students or young graduates, presenting research projects that are underway or have recently been completed. Both kinds of voice should ideally be paying some attention to the other. The professorial part of the dialogue comes from a seminar that asked the following questions about research in Translation Studies (which we take to include Interpreting Studies): 1. What specific problems need to be addressed by research? 2. What specific methodologies are needed? 3. How should we be training researchers to focus on those problems and to use those methodologies? The various answers concern both how we should be training research- ers (particularly in contributions by Daniel Gile and Andrew Chesterman), and what areas are opening up for future research projects (most of the other papers in that first part). A few more fundamental questions about where we have come from, and thus where we might be headed, are raised in Gideon Toury’s survey of the first twenty years of the Translation Studies journal Target, which has long been the most prestigious place of publication for European Translation Studies. The papers in the second part have far more to do with the hard realities of actually doing research at the present time. The points of non- correspondence with the professorial desiderata are numerous; the ties with traditional approaches and local needs are more obvious. Our hope in publishing these two sets of papers is that the different perspectives might enter into exchange, ideally beyond the level of plati- tudes. The seminar on “The Future of Research on Translation and Interpret- ing” was held in response to numerous doubts about the nature and direction of our own doctoral program: endemic topics, poor research designs, limited awareness of where the results of research might go, high levels of non- completed projects, attacks of non-scientificity from petty empiricists on the 2 Presentation one hand, and a willful dissolution of the translation concept from autodidact intellectuals on the other. The questions, I believe, were timely. May they eventually lead to a few answers. Anthony Pym Tarragona, February 2009 Aknowledgements The editors would like to extend sincere thanks to Serafima Khalzanova and Esther Torres Simón for their hard work on this volume. Part 1 Mapping the Future of Research on Translation and Interpreting 3 Everything I wish I had known about the philosophy of science... ANDREW CHESTERMAN University of Helsinki, Finland When I started my own PhD back in the 1980s, I already knew a lot about my actual subject (a contrastive linguistic analysis of the semantics and expression of definiteness in English and Finnish), but I was methodologi- cally and philosophically naive. At our first meeting, the head of my department at Reading University, the distinguished linguist Frank Palmer, gave me a small piece of paper on which he had written his official supervisory advice. This is what it said: – Be brief. A thesis of 60,000 words can be quite satisfactory. 100,000 words is usually too long. – Do not deal at length with matters that are familiar. – Keep the introductory sections short. – Do not make extensive use of quotations. In particular, do not use quotations as authority for your views. – Restrict references to those that are relevant. – Restrict your discussion to the “facts”, i.e. do not include statements of an emotive kind and be careful not to assume what you have to prove. – If you have a great deal of research material, do not include it in the thesis (but make sure it is available for inspection). – If your thesis is on an interdisciplinary subject, be very careful to check the appropriateness and correctness of your material, theory etc., from the point of view of the other disciplines. That was it. It was certainly good advice. But now, looking back, there was a gap: I was largely unaware of the philosophy of science, and thus not well informed about many things that I would now consider as fundamental for any doctoral researcher. Fortunately however, I was saved by Karl Popper. I had come across a small book by Bryan Magee, called simply Popper, in the Fontana Modern Masters series (1973). It opened huge windows for me, and I quickly became completely hooked. I read a lot more about Popper and by him, and deliberately structured my thesis along Popperian lines, starting with a problem, with an initial hypothesis—the traditional

    Document généré le 28 sept. 2021 00:41 TTR Traduction, terminologie, re?daction European Translation Studies, Une science qui dérange, and Why Equivalence Needn’t Be a Dirty Word Anthony Pym Orientations européennes en traductologie Résumé de l'article Volume 8, numéro 1, 1er semestre 1995 La Traductologie en Europe, Une science qui dérange, et Pourquoi « Équivalence » n'est pas forcément un gros mot - Les débats sur l'équivalence URI : https://id.erudit.org/iderudit/037200ar marquent le développement de la traductologie européenne depuis les années DOI : https://doi.org/10.7202/037200ar 1970 et constituent un cadre important de légitimation institutionnelle de la discipline. Un bref panorama de ces débats est effectué en appliquant à la Aller au sommaire du numéro traductologie les termes que Pierre Bourdieu utilise pour la défense de la sociologie, « une science qui dérange ». Ces débats se caractérisent, d'une part, par la légitimation précaire de l'équivalence linguistique dans les années 1970 et, d'autre part, par une série de critiques de l'équivalence - formulées au cours Éditeur(s) des années 1980 - dérivant de la priorité accordée aux facteurs cibles. Association canadienne de traductologie Cependant, il est possible que la légitimation institutionnelle associée aux critiques de l'équivalence ait eu un effet désintégrateur sur la conceptualisation en traductologie et qu'elle ait été intellectuellement ISSN médiocre. Pour devenir une science proprement dérangeante, la traductologie 0835-8443 (imprimé) pourrait revenir à l'équivalence en la considérant cette fois comme une 1708-2188 (numérique) illusion opératoire nécessaire à la définition et à la fonction sociale de toute traduction.

It does not exceed the prescribed word limit. !3 Abstract The present thesis analyses the work of four Lusophone Naturalist writers, two from Portugal (Abel Botelho and Eça de Queirós) and two from Brazil (Aluísio Azevedo and Adolfo Caminha) to argue that the pseudoscientific discourses of Naturalism, positivism and degeneration theory were adapted on the periphery of the Western world to critique the socio-economic order that produced that periphery. A central claim is that the authors in question disrupt the structure of the patriarchal family — characterised by exogamy and normative heterosexuality — to foster alternative notions of kinship that problematise the hegemonic mode of transmitting name, capital, bloodline and authority from father to son.

The Universal Peace Federation was founded on the simple but profound premise that lasting solutions to all human problems – including poverty, hunger, and disease UPF Chairman as well as ongoing conflict, the economic crisis, and threats to the Chung Hwan Kwak environment – cannot come by political and economic efforts alone, however well intended. We absolutely need to include the spiritual UPF Co-Chair dimension, and in particular, to acknowledge the reality that we are Hyun Jin Moon all “One Family Under God.” Dr. Thomas G.
