Скачать или смотреть The Scope & The 20th Century Historical Perspective of Translation

This video describes the scope of translation studies. Translation Studies is a multidisciplinary field that explores the theory, practice, and cultural implications of translating texts across languages and contexts. Its scope includes not just the technical aspects of translating linguistic meaning but also the analysis of how translations shape cultural identities, power dynamics, and intercultural communication. In the early 20th century, translation was primarily seen as a linguistic exercise focused on fidelity and equivalence, with the translator’s role considered secondary to the source text. Influential scholars like Roman Jakobson began to emphasize the semiotic and communicative aspects of translation, viewing it as a cross-cultural practice rather than a mere transference of words. The period also saw the emergence of Formal Equivalence and Dynamic Equivalence frameworks proposed by Eugene Nida, which further expanded the field’s theoretical underpinnings. This historical context set the stage for Translation Studies to evolve into an independent discipline by the late 20th century, incorporating perspectives from linguistics, literary theory, and cultural studies.
