The Conference of the Tongues offers a series of startling reflections on fundamental questions of translation

Offers a series of reflections on fundamental questions of translation. This book engages with value conflicts in translation and the social accountability of translators, and turns the old issue of equivalence inside out.

The notion of systems has helped revolutionize translation studies since the 1970s. This book explains how contemporary descriptive approaches came about, what the basic ideas were, and how those ideas have evolved over time. It addresses the fundamental problems of translation norms, equivalence, polysystems and social systems.
