Abstract:

Originating at an international forum held at the University of Vic
(Spain), the twelve essays collected here attest to important changes in
translation practice and the assumptions which underpin them. Leading
theorists respond to the state of Translation Studies today, particularly
the epistemological dilemma between theories that are empirically oriented
and those that are inspired by developments in Cultural Studies.

But the volume is also practical. Experienced instructors survey existing
pedagogies at translator/interpreter training programs and explore new
techniques that address the technological and global challenges of the new
millennium. Among the topics considered are: how to use translation
technology in the classroom, how to construct a syllabus for a course in
audiovisual translating or in translation theory, and how to develop
guidelines for a program for community interpreters or conference interpreters.

The contributors all assume that translation, whether written or oral, does
not occupy a neutral space. It is a cross-cultural exchange that produces
far-reaching social effects. Their essays significantly advance the
theoretical and practical understanding of translation along these lines.
