The Translator's Visibility
The Translator’s Visibility
This collection illuminates the epistemological and philosophical underpinnings of Lawrence Venuti's seminal The Translator's Invisibility, extending these conversations through a contemporary lens of epistemic justice while also exploring its manifestations and transposing it to different disciplines and contexts.
The volume is divided into five parts. The opening chapters provide contemporary foundations and a clear epistemological apparatus to conceptualise the debate on the translator's visibility and explore some of the philosophical underpinnings of the debate. The following chapters offer analysis of some contemporary manifestations and illustrations of the translator's visibility among translators and translation thinkers and restages the debate in diverse contexts - such as in European Union identity politics and Chinese Buddhist translation - and disciplines - such as film studies. A final chapter takes stock of the impact of machine translation to critically reflect on the future of translation and translator studies.
This book will be of interest to students and scholars in translation and interpreting studies, philosophy, cultural studies, literary studies, as well as the humanities more broadly.
