Robinson Douglas (Editor). What Is Translation?: Centrifugal Theories, Critical Interventions

Kent State University Press, 1997. — xxv, 221 pages. — (Translation Studies). — ISBN13: 9780585227689.Douglas Robinson's What Is Translation? Centrifugal Theories, Critical Interventions is the fourth volume of the Translation Studies monograph series. The basic editorial strategy of the series is to present a broad spectrum of thinking on translation and to challenge our conceptions of what translation is and how we should think about it. We have included What Is Translation? in our series to quite deliberately push the envelope of translation studies as far as we can. We want the series to open up our readers' minds to the different forms of scholarship that can emerge in translation studies.Remapping Rhetoric and Grammar
