Abstract:

What do people think of translation in the different historical, cultural and
linguistic traditions of the world? How many uses has translation been put to?
How distant from one another are the concepts of translation found in the
different traditions? These are some of the questions "A World Atlas of
Translation" addresses. Its twenty-one reports give us pictures taken from the
inside, both from traditions that are well represented in the literature and
from the many that (for now) are not.

But the "Atlas" is not content with documenting – no map is this innocent. In
fact, the wealth of information collected and made accessible by its reporters
can be useful to gauge the dispersion of translation concepts across
traditions. As you read its reports, the "Atlas" will keep asking “How far
apart do these concepts look to you?” Finally and more ambitiously, the
reports can help us test the hypothesis that a cross-cultural notion of
translation exists. In this respect, the "Atlas" is mostly a proof of concept.
It hopes to encourage further fact-based research in quest of a robust and
compelling unifying notion of translation.
