Abstract:

In Translation and the Problem of Sway Douglas Robinson 
offers the concept of "sway" to bring together discussion of two 
translational phenomena that have traditionally been considered in 
isolation, i.e. norms and errors: norms as ideological pressures to 
conform to the source text, and deviations from the source text as 
driven by ideological pressures to conform to some extratextual 
authority. The two theoretical constructs around which the discussion 
of translational sway is organized are Peirce's "interpretant" as 
rethought by Lawrence Venuti and "narrativity" as rethought by Mona 
Baker. Robinson offers a series of "friendly amendments" to both, 
looking closely at specific translation histories (Alex. Matson to and 
from Finnish, two English translations of Dostoevsky) as well as 
theoretical models from Aristotle to Peirce to expand the range and 
power of these concepts. In addition to translation and interpreting 
scholars this book will be of interest to scholars of communication 
and social interaction.
