Resumen: "El concepto de traducción especializada en los estudios de traducción", "notas sobre la constitución, evolución y el cultivo de las disciplinas" y "La constitución como disciplina de la traducción" son los tres bloques que encabezan esta obra. Partiendo de una justificación de las dudas sobre la conveniencia de mantener las clasificaciones tradicionales de la traducción, se trata de situar una discusión sobre la viabilidad (y el valor) de las clasificaciones rígidas, en un campo como el que nos ocupa. Se presentan algunos fundamentos para una (re)ubicación disciplinar de la traducción para intentar después abrir una reflexión sobre las diferentes especializaciones posibles, sobre la manera de delimitarlas y caracterizarlas.

Resumen: In any study of translations one must first decide what is to be counted as a "translation" and how such things are to be found, usually through recourse to bibliographical databases. We propose that, starting from the maximalist view that translations are potentially everywhere, various distribution processes impose a series of selective filters thanks to which some translations are more easily identified and accessible than others. The study of translation must be aware of these prior filters, and must know how to account for them, and sometimes how to overcome them. Research processes then necessarily impose their own selective filters, which may reduce or extend the number and kinds of translations given by prior filters. We present three research projects where the play of prior and research filters is very different. For one-off large-scale relational hypotheses, the Index Translationum is found to be relatively cost-efficient. For more detailed objects such as translation flows from Spanish into French in a specific period, a book-industry database offers significant advantages. And for a study marked by a paucity of texts, as is the case of translation from Korean into English following the Korean War, a combination of databases is necessary, the most useful turning out to be Amazon.

Resumen: The book covers theories of equivalence, purpose, description, uncertainty, localization, and cultural translation. This second edition adds coverage on new translation technologies, volunteer translators, non-lineal logic, mediation, Asian languages, and research on translators' cognitive processes. Readers are encouraged to explore the various theories and consider their strengths, weaknesses, and implications for translation practice. The book concludes with a survey of the way translation is used as a model in postmodern cultural studies and sociologies, extending its scope beyond traditional Western notions. Features in each chapter include: An introduction outlining the main points, key concepts and illustrative examples. Examples drawn from a range of languages, although knowledge of no language other than English is assumed. Discussion points and suggested classroom activities. A chapter summary.

Resumen: It is possible that prose translations of verse actively assisted in the progressive prosification of European lyrical expression in the nineteenth century. This "prose-effect hypothesis" implies that prose translation did not merely reflect developments in the prose poem, vers libre and poetic prose, but were causally related to these developments.
