English | 2018 | pages: 252 | ISBN: 1138361879, 1138361771 | PDF | 14,9 mb

It examines the selection of the foreign text and the implementation of translation strategies; the reception of the translated text, and the theories of translation offered by philosophers, critics and translators themselves. The book constitutes a rethinking that is both philosophical and political, taking into account social and ideological dimensions, as well as questions of language and subjectivity. Covering a number of genres and national literatures, this collection of essays demonstrates the power wielded by translators in the formation of literary canons and cultural identities, and recognises the appropriative and imperialist movements in every act of translation.

The volume will be of particular interest to scholars working at the intersection of science and religion, philosophers of religion, and theologians.
