Abstract:

Originally published in different journals and collected volumes, these papers
in conceptual analysis cover some central topics in translation theory and
research: types of theory and hypothesis; causality and explanation; norms,
strategies and so-called universals; translation sociology, and ethics. There
are critical reviews of Catford’s theory, and of Skopos theory, and of
Kundera’s views on literary translation, and detailed analyses of the literal
translation hypothesis and the unique items hypothesis. The methodological
discussions, which draw on work in the philosophy of science, will be of
special relevance to younger researchers, for example those starting work on a
doctorate. Some of the arguments and positions defended – for instance on the
significant status of conceptual, interpretive hypotheses, and the ideal of
consilience – relate to wider ongoing debates, and will interest any scholar
who is concerned about the increasing fragmentation of the field and about the
future of Translation Studies. Let the dialogue continue!
