| Abstract [eng] |
“Translation”yesterday (in the 1980s and 1990s) was defined in acertain context. Today, in a more globalized and digitalized world,the concept is changing, becoming morefluid while scholars in TSare becoming more nomadic (in their affiliations, and betweendisciplines). To avoid as much as possible a terminological inflationin TS and a monolithic and static concept of translation, we mustconsider the socio-cultural context in which we try not onlyto define our object of investigation but also to clarify the purposeof our definition(s), considering the wide range of translatorsand interpreters with different status and working with differente-tools. In addition, a historical perspective is needed: twoparadigms are changing, sometimes overlapping. Thus, the feelingof confusion. |
