Translation in Non-State Cultures: Perspectives from Wales

非国家文化中的翻译：威尔士视角网络旨在促进和促进从文化、历史和理论角度对威尔士翻译的研究。通过促进这些领域的研究发展并提高人们对其对威尔士翻译实践和政策制定的有益潜力的认识，该项目旨在解决威尔士日益扩大的翻译业与该领域研究匮乏之间缺乏对应关系的问题，特别是在语言和文化政策以外的问题上。尽管圣经翻译和二十世纪末的翻译和口译实践等问题受到了一些关注，但人们普遍认为，翻译研究学科的主要理论辩论没有在威尔士的背景下发挥作用，同样，威尔士潜在的贡献并没有在这一学科中发挥作用。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观点，这将大致分为以下两类：1.历史视角：1.历史视角：a)我们如何进一步了解翻译在威尔士历史上的角色和作用？b)威尔士语翻译理论可能的内容和轮廓是什么，以及我们如何通过翻译和批判性讨论使这部著作引起更广泛的受众的注意？c)翻译文本在多大程度上对威尔士文化的历史形成起着举足轻重的作用，因为它在历史上在民族性和调停性之间波动？2.当代视角：a)当代威尔士正在发展的某些与翻译相关的实践能否被理解为对，国家的立法双语？b)威尔士对翻译的某些新兴态度能否在非国家文化和政治动态的背景下得到理解？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，以及他们促进了哪些翻译定义？

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?
