The Translation Studies Reader The Translation Studies Reader The Translation Studies Reader is the definitive reader for the study of this dynamic interdisciplinary field. Providing an introduction to translation studies, this book places a wide range of readings within their thematic, cultural and historical contexts. The selections included are from the twentieth century, with a particular focus on the last thirty years of the century. Features include: • organization into five chronological sections, divided by decade • an introductory essay prefacing each section • a detailed bibliography and suggestions for further reading Contributors: Kwame Anthony Appiah, Walter Benjamin, Antoine Berman, Shoshana Blum-Kulka, Jorge Luis Borges, Annie Brisset, J.C.Catford, Lori Chamberlain, Itamar Even-Zohar, William Frawley, Ernst-August Gutt, Keith Harvey, Basil Hatim and Ian Mason, James S.Holmes, Roman Jakobson, André Lefevere, ∨ Jirí Levý, Philip E.Lewis, Vladimir Nabokov, Eugene Nida, José Ortega y Gasset, Ezra Pound, Willard V.O.Quine, Katharina Reiss, Steven Rendall, Gayatri Spivak, George Steiner, Gideon Toury, Hans J.Vermeer, Jean-Paul Vinay and Jean Darbelnet. A new piece by Lawrence Venuti suggests future directions for translation studies. Lawrence Venuti is Professor of English at Temple University, Philadelphia. He is the editor of Rethinking Translation: Discourse, Subjectivity, Ideology (1992), and the author of The Translator’s Invisibility: A History of Translation (1995), The Scandals of Translation: Towards an Ethics of Difference (1998), all published by Routledge. “This is a remarkable selection of the most important twentieth century contributions to the principles and procedures of translation, but what makes this volume so valuable are Venuti’s insightful notes that bring these contributions into proper focus for both students and teachers of translation.” Eugene Nida, American Bible Society, USA “Venuti’s Translation Studies Reader reflects all ‘the Misery and the Splendor’ (Ortega y Gasset) of almost a hundred years of translation studies. This book, and the supplementary readings suggested by Venuti provide (almost) a complete course of translation studies.” Hans J.Vermeer, Leopold-Franzens-University, Austria “This book offers a challenging and stimulating perspective on translation theory in the twentieth century. Many of the essays included in the collection are seminal ones, others are exciting, innovative pieces that invite us to reflect again on our understanding and knowledge of the translation process.” Susan Bassnett, The University of Warwick, UK The Translation Studies Reader Edited by Lawrence Venuti Advisory Editor: Mona Baker London and New York First published 2000 by Routledge 11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE Simulataneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge 29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2004. © 2000 This collection and editorial matter © Lawrence Venuti; individual essays © individual contributors All rights reserved.

  • Translation As a Critical Practice: Using Retranslation When Teaching
    Quaderns. Revista de Traducció 21, 2014 199-209 Translation as a Critical Practice : Using Retranslation when Teaching Translation Jonathan Evans University of Portsmouth School of Languages and Area Studies Park Building, King Henry I Street, Portsmouth, PO1 2DZ, UK. [email protected] Abstract This article addresses the question of how to relate translation theory to translation practice when teaching translation. Retranslation is viewed as a critical practice (kydd 2011) that inte- grates critical engagement with existing translations and theory into practice. This critical reflexion is part of translation competence, both in Pym’s (2003) minimalist formulation and the European Master’s in Translation guidelines. Retranslation can therefore be seen to help students achieve the sort of critical awareness that is part and parcel of translation competence. A series of practical learning activities are suggested that use retranslation. These range from analyses of retranslation of the same text to commented retranslations that ask the students to explain their own process. Each of these offers ways of going beyond textual criticism to engage with wider theoretical concerns. Keywords: retranslation; translation pedagogy; reflexive practice; translation competence; commentary writing. Resum. Traduir com a pràctica crítica: la retraducció en l’ensenyament de la traducció Aquest article prova d’exposar com es pot incloure la teoria de la traducció en l’ensenyament pràctic a les aules, i considera que traduir un text ja versionat és un exercici que integra una lec- tura crítica tant del trasllat com de la teoria traductològica. Com que, tant en la formulació mini- malista de Pym (2003), com en les directrius dels màsters europeus en traducció, aquesta consciència crítica és part de la competència traductora, retraduir es pot considerar una manera d’ajudar els estudiants a aconseguir-la.

  • Translation: an Advanced Resource Book
    TRANSLATION Routledge Applied Linguistics is a series of comprehensive resource books, providing students and researchers with the support they need for advanced study in the core areas of English language and Applied Linguistics. Each book in the series guides readers through three main sections, enabling them to explore and develop major themes within the discipline: • Section A, Introduction, establishes the key terms and concepts and extends readers’ techniques of analysis through practical application. • Section B, Extension, brings together influential articles, sets them in context, and discusses their contribution to the field. • Section C, Exploration, builds on knowledge gained in the first two sections, setting thoughtful tasks around further illustrative material. This enables readers to engage more actively with the subject matter and encourages them to develop their own research responses. Throughout the book, topics are revisited, extended, interwoven and deconstructed, with the reader’s understanding strengthened by tasks and follow-up questions. Translation: • examines the theory and practice of translation from a variety of linguistic and cultural angles, including semantics, equivalence, functional linguistics, corpus and cognitive linguistics, text and discourse analysis, gender studies and post- colonialism • draws on a wide range of languages, including French, Spanish, German, Russian and Arabic • explores material from a variety of sources, such as the Internet, advertisements, religious texts, literary and technical texts • gathers together influential readings from the key names in the discipline, including James S. Holmes, George Steiner, Jean-Paul Vinay and Jean Darbelnet, Eugene Nida, Werner Koller and Ernst-August Gutt. Written by experienced teachers and researchers in the field, Translation is an essential resource for students and researchers of English language and Applied Linguistics as well as Translation Studies.

  • A Review of the History of Translation Studies
    ISSN 1799-2591 Theory and Practice in Language Studies, Vol. 2, No. 1, pp. 77-85, January 2012 © 2012 ACADEMY PUBLISHER Manufactured in Finland. doi:10.4304/tpls.2.1.77-85 A Review of the History of Translation Studies Ali Reza Ghanooni Romance and Germanic Philology, Yerevan State University, Yerevan, Armenia Email: [email protected] Abstract—This paper aims at a general review of the history of translation studies and the prevalent approaches from antiquity to the present in the west, in the form of a historical survey in which key theoretical developments are taken into account, focusing on approaches that have been developed during the twentieth century. Without a doubt, It is James Holme's seminal paper "the name and nature of translation studies" that draws up a disciplinary map for translation studies and serves as a springboard for researchers with its binary division of Translation Studies into two branches: "pure" and "applied." Its growth as a discipline goes back to the 1980s. As time elapses, translation studies, by achieving a certain institutional authority and coalescing with many a resurging disciplines and trends as cultural studies, linguistics, literary theory and criticism, brings a renewed aspect to translation theory. Index Terms—history, approaches, trends, theories I. INTRODUCTION Behind the field of translation lies the names and theories emerging at diverse periods. There are changes taking place in the history of translation; however, such changes differ from one place into another. For example, those flourishments in the western world are far removed from the eastern part. Two of the pioneers of the field are Horace and Cicero (first century B.C) whose discussions of translation practice pertains to word-for-word and sense-for-sense translation.

  • The Manipulation of Literature
    Routledge Revivals The Manipulation of Literature First published in 1985, the essays in this edited collection offer a representative sample of the descriptive and systematic approach to the study of literary translation. The book is a reflection of the theoretical thinking and practical research carried out by an international group of scholars who share a common standpoint. They argue the need for a rigorous scientific approach to the phenomena of translation – one of the most significant branches of Comparative Literature – and regard it as essential to link the study of particular translated texts with a broader methodological position. Considering both broadly theoretical topics and particular cases and traditions, this volume will appeal to a wide range of students and scholars across disciplines.

  • Valediction for Hans J. Vermeer
    Valediction for Hans J. Vermeer delivered by Andreas F. Kelletat on the occasion of the urn interment on 20 February 2010 at the Bergfriedhof cemetery, Heidelberg Translated by Marina Dudenhöfer M.A. Dear members of the family, Dear friends and colleagues of Professor Hans Vermeer, It was only five weeks ago, on 17 January 2010, that Michael Schreiber, the Dean of our School of Translation and Interpreting Studies, Linguistics and Cultural Studies (FTSK) in Germersheim, handed over an honorary doctorate from our university to Hans Vermeer for his dedication to the establishment of a discipline in Translation Studies in a small ceremony at his house. The first steps for this award were taken in early 2009 before Hans Vermeer’s illness, and before he even knew he was ill. There was an official ceremony planned for autumn 2010 to coincide with Hans Vermeer’s 80th birthday on 24 September 2010, but it did not take place. Instead of celebrating a joyful birthday and award ceremony amongst students, friends and colleagues, we are gathered in this cemetery today to inter the ashes of the dearly departed. The family of my dear colleague Vermeer asked me to speak to you on this solemn occasion and it is my honour to remember with you today an extraordinary researcher, academic and teacher. Many of you gathered here do not need my help to remember him, as you were part of his life as a researcher and teacher, colleague and friend. Several of you knew him for much longer and were closer to him than I myself.

  • Dynamic Equivalence: Nida's Perspective and Beyond
    Dynamic Equivalence: Nida’s Perspective and Beyond Dohun Kim Translation is an interlingual and intercultural communication, in which correspondence at the level of formal and meaningful structures does not necessarily lead to a successful communication: a secondary communication or even a communication breakdown may occur due to distinct historical-cultural contexts. Such recognition led Nida to put forward Dynamic Equivalence, which brings the receptor to the centre of the communication. The concept triggered the focus shift from the form of the message to the response of the receptor. Further, its theoretical basis went beyond applying the research results of linguistics to the practice of translation; it founded a linguistic theory of translation for researchers and provided a practical manual of translation for translators. While Nida’s claims on the priority of Dynamic Equivalence over Formal Correspondence have been widely accepted and cited by translation researchers and practitioners, the mechanism and validity of Nida’s theoretical construct of the translation process have been neither addressed nor updated sufficiently. Hence, this paper sets out to revisit Nida and explain in detail what his theoretical background was, and how it led him to Formal Correspondence and Dynamic Equivalence. Keywords: deep structure, dynamic equivalence, kernel, receptor response, translation model We must analyze the transmission of a message in terms of a dynamic dimension. This analysis is especially important for translating, since the production
