Special Issue: Translation Studies: Retrospects and Prospects

Submission deadline: 15 October 2023

In this age of unprecedented technological development, the field of translation studies has expanded and has pushed away centuries-long boundaries, resulting in radical and far-reaching breakthroughs. From automatic online translation services and the diversification of translation applications and programs to crowdsourced translation, through sophisticated translation memory software and various other props, translation practice has made remarkable steps forward. At the same time, translation theory has diversified, borrowing interdisciplinary approaches which have cross-fertilized the field, resulting in an enhanced understating of the processes at play.

In this context, the upcoming issue of the East-West Cultural Passage Journal (https://sciendo.com/journal/EWCP), to be published in December 2023, will be dedicated to reflections and analytical approaches to transfer processes.

-        Translation studies: new and old perspectives
