This volume offers a snapshot of current perspectives on translation studies within the specific historical and socio-cultural framework of Anglo-Italian relations. It addresses research questions relevant to English historical, literary, cultural and language studies, as well as empirical translation studies. The book is divided into four chapters, each covering a specific research area in the scholarly field of translation studies: namely, historiography, literary translation, specialized translation and multimodality. Each case study selected for this volume has been conducted with critical insight and methodological rigour, and makes a valuable contribution to scientific knowledge in the descriptive and applied branches of a discipline that, since its foundation nearly 50 years ago, has concerned itself with the description, theory and practice of translating and interpreting.
New Trends in Translation Studies
Kinga Klaudy has obtained international reputation for original work in translation studies and has become widely recognized as one of the most distinguished scholars of the field. This book is dedicated to her as an expression of the gratitude and respect her students, colleagues, and fellow researchers feel for all her work and devotion. The studies in this volume draw on recent research, presenting arguments for promising new directions in theory and analysis of translation studies. Part One of this book includes contributions related directly to the theory of translation. Part Two contains studies that focus on the analysis of particular translations where the languages are English, Finnish, Russian, French and Hungarian. The main topics related to the theory of translation center around the models and paradigms of translation studies, translation strategies, typology, the notion of equivalence, explication, issues of terminology, and translator training.

Unity in Diversity
Translation studies as a discipline has grown enormously in recent decades. Contributions to the discipline have come from a variety of fields, including machine translation, history, literature, philosophy, linguistics, terminology, signed language interpreting, screen translation, translation pedagogy, software localization and lexicography. There is evidently great diversity in translation studies, but is there much unity? Have the different branches of translation studies become so specialized that they can no longer talk to each other? Would translation studies be strengthened or weakened by the search for or the existence of unifying principles? This volume brings together contributions from feminist theory, screen translation, terminology, interpreting, computer-assisted translation, advertising, literature, linguistics, and translation pedagogy in order to counter the tendency to partition or exclude in translation studies. Machine translation specialists and literary translators should be found between the same book covers, if only because the nomadic journeying of concepts is often the key to intellectual discovery and renewal. Celebrating our differences does not mean ignoring what we have in common. Unity in Diversity offers a valuable overview of the current state of translation studies from both theoretical and practical perspectives and makes an important contribution to debates on the future direction of translation studies.
