Remapping Habitus in translation studies / edited by Gisella M. Vorderobermeier

Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: Approaches to translation studies ; 40Publication details: Leiden : Brill, 2014Description: (235 p.)ISBN:
  • 978-90-420-3842-4
DDC classification:
  • 408.02 23A
Other classification:
  • 408.02
Summary: The publication deliberately concentrates on the reception and application of one concept highly influential in the sociology of translation and interpreting, namely habitus. By critically engaging with this Bourdieusian concept, it aspires to re-estimate not only interdisciplinary interfaces but also those with different approaches in the discipline itself. The authors of the contributions collected in this volume, by engaging with the habitus concept, lend expression to the conviction that it is indeed “a concept which upsets”, i.e. one with the potential to make a difference to research agendas. They are cutting across diverse traditions of Bourdieu reception within and beyond the discipline, each paper being based on unique research experiences.
