About this book
Reviews
“This is an important book that tackles the vast, complex issue of how value systems that inevitably are culture-bound can be translated. If shared values are meaningful for particular communities, can they ever be adequately translated? This wide-ranging collection of essays tackles a range of difficult issues that are fundamental to understanding our multi-faceted global world.” (Susan Bassnett, Professor, University of Warwick, UK)
“If culture is one of the two or three most complicated words in the English language (R. Williams), translation and value are the other two. This collection of contributions by some big names in Translation and Culture Studies from various countries deals with values in journalism, Bible translation, literature, ethnolinguistics and other fields both in the past and today – a “must read” for everyone interested in culture, values, and translation!” (Christiane Nord, Professor, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein)
