CFP--Translation Studies

[Alina Israeli]

You can compare it with acting (or painting). Actors acted even  
before there were acting theories and schools. And even now there are  
occasionally actors who did not have a single acting lesson,  
Elizabeth Taylor for example. One can be a brilliant practitioner and  
work on an instinct while being unable to theorize which does not  
deny the fact that there can be theories behind the practice.
