Overview

This commentary analyzes Western translation thought's evolution, highlighting cultural and ethical shifts in translation studies.

Key Points

  • The shift in translation studies emphasizes cultural identity over linguistic technicality, transforming the translator's role.
  • Since the late 1970s, there has been a divergence between Western and Russian translation studies, particularly after the cultural turn.
  • Key milestones in Western translation thought show a move towards politicized views of translation as a tool for cultural engagement.
  • The article highlights the importance of the translator's new role as a participant in political dialogues rather than a mere technical assistant.
