Translation in Non-State Cultures: Perspectives from Wales

该网络的翻译在非国家文化：从威尔士的角度来看，旨在促进和促进翻译研究在威尔士从文化，历史和理论的角度。通过促进这些领域的研究发展，提高人们对威尔士翻译实践和政策制定的有益潜力的认识，该项目旨在解决不断扩大的威尔士翻译业与该领域研究稀缺之间缺乏对应关系的问题，特别是在超越语言和文化政策的问题上。而圣经翻译和二十世纪末的问题-尽管世纪的翻译和口译实践受到了一些关注，但有一种共同的批评观点认为，翻译研究学科的主要理论辩论并没有被带到威尔士语境中，同样，威尔士的潜在贡献也没有在这一学科中留下印记。该网络将处理一系列相互关联的研究问题，旨在弥合这些跨学科的观点，这些观点大致分为以下两类：历史视角：a）我们如何进一步理解威尔士历史上翻译的作用和功能？B）威尔士语翻译理论可能的内容和轮廓是什么？我们如何通过翻译和批判性讨论将这部作品引起更广泛受众的注意？c）在威尔士文化的历史形成过程中，翻译文本在多大程度上起着不可或缺的作用？2.当代观点：a）在当代威尔士发展的某些与预防有关的做法是否可以理解为对该国立法双语制的反应和影响？B）威尔士对翻译的某些新态度能否在非国家文化和政治动态的背景下理解？c）我们如何评估威尔士与翻译相关的机构和组织的象征性作用，以及它们对翻译的定义是什么？

The Network 'Translation in Non-State Cultures: perspectives from Wales' aims to foster and facilitate research on translation in Wales from a cultural, historical and theoretical perspective. By promoting these areas of research development and raising awareness of their beneficial potential for translation practice and policy making in Wales, this project aims to address the lack of correspondence between the expanding Welsh translation industry and the scarcity of research in this area, particularly on issues that go beyond language and cultural policy.Whereas questions such as Bible translation and late twentieth-century translation and interpreting practices have received some attention, there is a shared critical perception that the main theoretical debates of the discipline of Translation Studies have not been brought to bear on the Welsh context, and similarly, that potential Welsh contributions have not made their mark in this discipline. The Network will address a series of interrelated research questions, aimed at bridging these interdisciplinary perspectives, which will fall broadly into the following two categories:1. Historical perspectives:a) How can we further understand the role and function of translation in Wales across history?b) What would be the possible contents and contours of Welsh-language translation theory and how could we bring this body of writing to the attention of a wider audience through translation and critical discussion?c) To what extent have translated texts been intrumental in the historical formation of Welsh culture as historically fluctuating between nationhood and mediation? 2. Contemporary perspectives:a) Can certain translation-related practices developing in contemporary Wales be understood as reactions to, and effects of, legislated bilingualism in the country?b) Can certain emerging attitudes to translation in Wales be understood in the context of non-state cultural and political dynamics?c) How can we assess the symbolic role of translation-related institutions and organisations in Wales and what definitions of translation have been promoted by them?
