The last four decades have witnessed a rapid growth of this fl edgling discipline. This Series intends to publish and promote these developments and provide readers with theories and methods they need to carry out their own translation studies projects.Translation Studies is now expanding into new or underexplored areas both in theories and research methods. One recent development is the keen interest in translation theories that transcend Eurocentrism. Translation Studies has for decades been dominated by Western modes of understanding and theorizing about translation and closed to models of other traditions.
