Bücher der Reihe Translation Theories Explored

Translation and Paratexts explores the relevance of paratexts for translation studies and provides a framework for further research. Written in three parts, Kathryn Batchelor firstly offers a critical overview of recent scholarship, and then in the second part introduces three original case studies to demonstrate the importance of paratextual theory, before concluding with a final part outlining the theory of paratextuality for translation research. Translation and Paratexts is essential reading for students and researchers in Translation Studies, Interpreting studies and Literary Translation.

Translation Studies and linguistics have been going through a love-hate relationship since the 1950s. This book assesses both sides of the relationship, tracing the very real contributions that linguists have made to translation studies and at the same time recognizing the limitations of many of their approaches.

Beginning with a general presentation of postcolonial theory, this book examines theories of the power differentials that control what gets translated and how, and traces the historical development of postcolonial thought about translation. It explores the negative and positive impact of translation in the postcolonial context.

Can Theory Help Translators? is a dialogue between a theoretical scholar and a professional translator, about the usefulness (if any) of translation theory

Cultural anthropology has always been dependent on translation as a textual practice, and it has often used 'translation' as a metaphor to describe ethnography's processes of interpretation and cross-cultural comparison. This book opens up a field of study to translation scholars and suggests possible avenues of cross-disciplinary collaboration.
