“…There is, however, one notable exception to this rule. The master concept of TS, 'translation' itself, has become a highly successful 'travelling concept' in recent years and has been adopted by many of TS's neighbouring disciplines, such as cultural studies (Bachmann-Medick 2009), anthropology (Maranhão and Bernhard 2003), history (Lässig 2012), or organisation studies (Carlile 2004), to name just a few. A 'translational turn' has even been proclaimed across the humanities and social sciences (Bachmann-Medick 2007 based on the success experienced by the concept of translation outside TS.…”

From inward to outward: the need for translation studies to become outward-going

Translation Studies (TS) has undergone a number of internal shifts. These have focused on so-called "travelling concepts", such as 'culture' or 'cognition', and have been crucial in building and establishing the discipline. Both the concept of 'paradigm (change)' and that of 'turn' are used to refer to these shifts and frequently the two concepts are used synonymously. This essay will show why the notion of turn should be given preference over that of paradigm. The turns of TS are based on interdisciplinarity. Yet while the field has imported massively from other disciplines it has hardly exported anything. There is one exception to this trend: TS's fundamental concept, translation, is experiencing a real boom outside the discipline. However, this is happening mostly without the participation of TS itself, which has so far been both passive and ignored. It is time for TS to perform two decisive outward turns. The first must take place in order to counteract misconceived notions about 'translation proper' and about TS as a research field held by other disciplines. The second outward turn needs to be enacted in order to counteract misconceived notions about translation and interpreting generated and disseminated by translation practice. The article discusses how and why this double turn from 'inward' to 'outward' should be performed.

Mapping the Ambiguous—Intercultural Encounters in Matteo Ricci’s World Map Kunyu Wanguo Quantu

This article highlights the complex nature of intercultural cooperation in the early Jesuit Mission in China through the example of the world map Kunyu wanguo quantu—Complete Geographical Map of Ten Thousand Countries (1603), a work most commonly attributed to Matteo Ricci S.J. Based on current research in the fields of the history of cartography as well as translation studies, I argue that the map itself is reflective of a collaborative construction process and can thus be interpreted as a space of encounter. In this space, literal and cultural translation processes between the actors took place and shaped the map as a whole. By zooming in and out of the map and playing with different levels of focus, said translation processes, and the resulting ambiguities, can be detected and analyzed, revealing the collaboration between Ricci and Chinese literati such as Li Zhizao, two authors who held various coinciding and contradicting views and whose power relationship to each other was ambiguous.
