Book Description
This book deals with one of the most prominent and promising developments in modern Translation Studies–the sociology of translation. Tyulenev develops an original way of applying Luhmann’s Social Systems Theory to translation, viewing translation as a social-systemic boundary phenomenon. The book consists of two major parts: in the first, translation is described as a system in its own right with its systemic properties; in the second part, translation is viewed as a social subsystem and as a boundary phenomenon in the overall social system.
