Book Description
This edited book is a collection of the latest empirical studies of translation and interpreting (T&I) from the post-structuralist perspective. The contributors are professors, readers, senior lecturers, lecturers and research students from an international context. The contributions are characterised by five themes: Intervention in T&I, Process of T&I, Product of T&I, T&I and Technology, and T&I Education. These up-to-date topics are reflective of the shift in attitudes that is being witnessed as a new generation of translation scholars rejects the subjective assertions of previous generations, in favour of an altogether more rigorous approach.
