Abstract

The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Sociology is the first encyclopedic presentation of research into the social aspects of translation and interpreting. It consists of 35 chapters contributed by 40 experts in their respective fields of the sociology of translation.

The Handbook traces the evolution of research into social aspects of translation and interpreting, explains the basics of the sociology of translation, offers an insight into studies of translation within sociology, and shows the place translation and interpreting occupies among social functional systems and its interactions with social forces and practices.

With global coverage spanning all inhabited continents, the Handbook examines translational practices across diverse cultures and historical periods, from ancient origins to modern professional practices.

Suitable for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of translation and interpreting, as well as researchers in the sociology of translation, the Handbook furnishes readers with a comprehensive understanding of the field. It offers a thorough exploration of the current state of the sociology of translation and suggests avenues for further research.
