Translation and Technology: Towards Translation Studies 3.0

Abstract:

Translation Studies is a dynamic discipline which plays a significant role in the globalising world. It provides analytical lenses to understand diverse forms of translation with refined conceptualisation of translation.  Similar to many areas of work and fields of research, technology has been a key driver to affect translation which is increasingly mediated by technology. My recent edited volume The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Technology (O’Hagan 2019) aims to shed light on the deepening relationship between translation and technology from multiple perspectives.  Drawing on this publication together with my own current research and topics of my PhD students, I will share my thoughts on the future of Translation Studies as TS 3.0 and expanding avenues of research.
