Description
This is the first handbook to focus on translation theory, based on an innovative and expanded definition of translation and on the newest perspectives in the field of Translation Studies.
With an introductory overview explaining the rationale, a part on foundational issues and three further parts on object translation, representamen translation and interpretant translation, the handbook provides a critical overview of conceptual approaches to translation which can contribute to our understanding of translational phenomena in the broadest sense. Authored by leading international figures, the handbook covers a wide range of theories and approaches from ecological and biosemiotic approaches to philosophical and cultural approaches, and from computational sciences to anthropology.
The Routledge Handbook of Translation Theory and Concepts is both an essential reference guide for advanced students, researchers and scholars in translation and interpreting studies, and it is an enlightening guide to future developments in the field.

Reviews / Votes
Once again, Translation Studies is currently in the process of recalibrating itself and its purpose. This collective volume offers a wealth of thought-out contributions to rethinking its conceptual and theoretical foundations. A must-read for anyone interested in the future pathways of the discipline.Kaisa Koskinen, Tampere University, Finland
