Presents an overview of the developments in thinking about translation, both within and outside translation studies. This title covers the main forms of translation: oral, written, literary, non-literary, scientific, religious, audiovisual and machine translation. It also covers topics such as the politics and dynamics of representation. 'This volume represents a much needed break from the canon that currently defines - but also restricts - the scope of translation studies. Read Venuti to see where we have come from; read Baker to see where we are heading.' - Stuart Campbell, University of Western Sydney '...there is a rich source of information for any student of translation or interpreting in this volume. The complexity of translation which Baker often refers to is manifest in the different contributions.' - J.A. Foley, Assumption University, The New English Teacher
