Riflessioni sulle future prospettive dell'arte del tradurre

Abstract

Translations have been cultivated throughout the centuries, from the Greeks through the Romans to our modern times. Each age has produced its own perspectives on the art of translation, and the respective translators have imprinted their interpretive approaches on the nature of their translations, approaches that also reflect the cultural and anthropological orientation of their times. The present article offers a critical assessment of recent developments in the young discipline of Translation Studies and sets out to provide an answer, as seen from a European perspective today. The aim of this paper is to stimulate discussion and provoke further debate on the current profile and future perspectives of the craft of translation.
