“…In a recent article, Zwischenberger (2019) argues that these internal and external perceptions cannot be separated. Since translation is more associated with a practice than with a scholarly field, the perception of this practice in the outside world is largely determined by practitioners.…”

This contribution starts from the observation that translation and translation studies (TS) seem to be perceived in a more vocational way than adjacent practices and disciplines. In the beginning of the 21 st century, digitization and transmedial production led to a diversification of text-modifying and text-adapting practices, which have also affected the romantic concepts of authorship as well as the dominance of the aesthetics of opposition. A strong tendency within TS is already including these new developments and practices in research, and as such broadening the scope and the object of the discipline. However, there is also a tendency opposing this expansion and advocating the narrower object exclusively linked to the traditional practices of translating and interpreting proper. The name discussion about the discipline has been ongoing for a long time, but is now put in a different perspective due to these societal and disciplinary changes and relations.

“…В статье затрагиваются четыре проблемы, обусловленные полидисциплинарностью в переводоведении: a) столкновение между гносеологическим ядром переводоведческой теории, противостоящим расширению границ метадисциплины и интердисциплинарностью; б) противоречие между научным сообществом -«Башней из слоновой кости» -и повседневной лингвистической практикой; в) размывание внешних и стирание внутренних границ в теории перевода; г) наличие множественных подходов к переводоведению, выдвигающих на первый план его абстрактные либо прикладные аспекты. С учетом внутренних установок в теории перевода предлагаются два возможных пути развития: утверждение значимости перевода для других дисциплин и внедрение его достижений в практику перевода в соответствии с подходом К. Цвишенбергер (Zwischenberger 2019). Продолжение развития можно увидеть в постпереводческих исследованиях Э. Гентцлера (Gentzler 2017), направленных на изучение допереводческой культуры и влияние результатов перевода на культуру языка перевода.…”

“…For this reason, it is now high time for TS to step forward, and most importantly, outward 6 . In this connection, Zwischenberger (2019) demands that TS should perform two 'outward turns' in the foreseeable future. First, to step outside its box and show its relevance to and impact on other disciplines and second, to bridge the gap between TS and translation practice and foster affinity between them (ibid.…”

The changing face of contemporary translation studies through polydisciplinary lenses: Possibilities and caveats

This paper offers a meta-reflection of contemporary translation studies (TS) through tracing its polydisciplinary tensions which are approached as both formative forces as well as hindrances. Taking a form of an argumentative essay employing the methods of a reflexive introspection, synthesis and evaluation, the principal aim is to address the potentials and controversies in present-day TS which are connected to its polydisciplinarity. This is a result from the aftermath of Snell-Hornbys integrated approach (1988/1995), TSs cultural and ideological turns as well as cognitive, sociological, anthropological, technological and economic twists. Four major strands of the consequences of the polydisciplinarity in TS are addressed: (a) the clash between the focus on the epistemological core of TS as an antidote to the expanding boundaries of the meta-discipline and embrace of reciprocal interdisciplinarity; (b) the tension between academia as Ivory Tower and practice-minded language industry; (c) the diffusion of the outer boundaries of TS and erasure of its inner boundaries; (d) a multitude of different conceptualizations of TS foregrounding either the abstract or practical. Following TSs inward orientations, two outward turns are suggested, i.e. promoting its relevance to other disciplines and reaching out to translation practice, in tune with Zwischenbergers approach (2019). A continuation of the outward turns may be seen in Gentzlers post-translation studies focusing on the study of pre-translation culture and after-effects of translation in the target culture. Although the paper does not tend to conceptual extremes, it suggests that authentic transdisciplinary TS should be mindful of a constructive and mutually enriching dialogue with donor disciplines and interlacement between theory and practice, with a focus on real-world issues, becomes imperative in order to make TS viable.

“…Nieustanne i nieodzowne poszerzanie terytorium badawczego współczesnego przekładoznawstwa od "zwrotu kulturowego" po "zwrot na zewnątrz" (the outward turn) (Bassnett, Johnston 2019;Zwischenberger 2019) i transdyscyplinarne studia nad "postprzekładem" (Nergaard, Arduini 2011; Gentzler 2017) powoduje istotne rewizje pojęcia przekładu, które coraz mocniej akcentują znaczenia "różnicy", "hybrydyczności", "przemieszczenia", "innowacyjności" kosztem "tożsamości", "odwzorowania", "równoważności". Tak zwany zwrot twórczy w refleksji przekładoznawczej znacząco wyostrzył wrażliwość teoretyków i krytyków przekładu na zagadnienia podmiotowej percepcji sztuki, artystycznej indywidualności, wynalazczości i autonomii tłumacza (zob.…”

Experimental Translation: Techniques, Forms, Metalanguages The aim of the article is to introduce a new series of studies on theoretical, methodological, analytical, and interpretive problems of “translation anomalies”. Functioning as a medium of artistic innovation and creative cognition, experimental literary translation has a laboratory meaning both for translators and translation, literary and cultural scholars. It allows to highlight the fundamental problems of artistic creation, the theory of literature, the theory of artistic translation and the theory of intercultural communication. On the one hand, translation experiments confirm the necessity of using interdisciplinary research instruments; on the other hand, they show translation as a fundamental metaphor that describes the innovative and dynamic nature of technology.
