Translation is in motion. Technological developments, digitalisation and globalisation are among the many factors affecting and changing translation and, with it, translation studies. Moving Boundaries in Translation Studies offers a bird's-eye view of recent developments and discusses their implications for the boundaries of the discipline. With 15 chapters written by leading translation scholars from around the world, the book analyses new translation phenomena, new practices and tools, new forms of organisation, new concepts and names as well as new scholarly approaches and methods. This is key reading for scholars, researchers and advanced students of translation and interpreting studies.

Reviews

"This volume examines how academic developments, conceptual innovations and new hybrid, inter- and intralingual, and often technology-enabled forms of translation and interpreting push and break the assumed boundaries of translation and interpreting. Moving Boundaries in Translation Studies offers substantive contributions written by key authors in the field and provides inspiring reading for anybody ready to rethink their concepts of translation or interpreting."

Hanna Risku, University of Vienna, Austria

"This volume addresses developments in translation practice and theory which indicate that traditional boundaries are moving. (How) does translation differ from practices such as localization, transcreation, (post-)editing? Do all these practices belong to the object of study of the discipline of Translation Studies? The contributors reflect on conceptual, methodical, and empirical dimensions of moving boundaries in a highly engaging and thought-provoking way."

Christina Schaeffner, Aston University, UK
