This volume explores the notion of untranslatability from a wide variety of interdisciplinary perspectives and its implications within the broader context of translation studies. The book goes beyond traditional comparisons of target texts and their sources to investigate the myriad ways in which untranslatability is conceptualized and applied.
"However diverse its contributions, the book's quality is consistent, singular and assured. While many collections aim for such standards, its diversity never feels forced, nor does the topic ever feel stretched beyond its scope of relevance. All the contributions are referring and responding to Apter and Cassin's work, nevertheless in ways that are diverse and original each time."
