This volume brings together a selection of papers presented at an
international conference on Translation Studies in Barcelona in
1998. The papers illustrate four areas that are of particular interest
in translation research today in Europe, Asia and Latin America. The
purpose of the first section, 'Investigating Translation Paradigms',
is to reach a critical revision of existing paradigms and to develop
new ones in approaching the translated text. The second section,
'Investigating the Translation Process', focuses on the skills,
knowledge and strategies that make up translation competence. The
third section, 'Investigating Translation and Ideology' addresses not
only the 'invisible' influence of ideologies on the translator, but
also the role of translators in transmitting ideology. The fourth
section, 'Investigating Translation Receivers' envisages translators
as communicators caught between the opposing trends of localisation
and globalisation. This tension can be seen in the selection of the
papers, some of which reflect on research carried out in recently
established translation centres in Spain, while others discuss the
latest work of scholars from long established centres in other
countries.

Memes of Translation is a search for coherence in translation theory
based on the notion of Memes: ideas that spread, develop and
replicate, like genes. The author explores a wide range of ideas on
translation, mapping the "meme pool" of translation theory with
chapters on translation history, norms, strategies, assessment,
ethics, and translator training. The aim of the book is to search for
a perspective from which the immense variety of ideas about
translation can be related. The unifying thread is the philosophy of
Karl Popper. The book proposes the beginnings of a Popperian theory of
translation, based on the fundamental concepts of norms, strategies,
and values. A key idea is that a translation itself is a theory or
hypothesis concerning the source text. This hypothesis is then
subjected to testing, refinement, and perhaps even rejection, just
like any other hypothesis.
