RECHARTING TERRITORIES

Since the inception of Translation Studies in the 1970s, its researchers have held regular metareflections. Largely based on the assessment of translation and interpreting as two distinct but related modes of language mediation, each with its own res
earch culture, these intradisciplinary debates have sought to take stock of the state of research within an ever-expanding discipline in search of (institutional) identity and autonomy. Recharting Territories proposes a more widespread and systematic
intradisciplinary approach to researching translational phenomena, one which can be applied at various analytical levels - theoretical, conceptual, methodological, pragmatic - and emphasize both similarities and differences between subdisciplines. S
uch an approach, rather than consolidating a territorial attitude on the part of scholars, aims to raise awareness of the ever-shifting terrain on which Translation Studies stands.
