The violence and inhumanity of Russia’s war in Ukraine put a definitive end to the false feeling of security enjoyed by Europe since the Yugoslav wars. Thus, maintaining a friendly dialog with people around the world is now more important than ever to prevent further tragedies. Translation in all its forms is the key practice that can facilitate mutual understanding, which is vital if we are to hand down the planet to further generations in a habitable state. Among other disciplines, translation studies has been increasingly active in addressing the most complex problems of our planet. Since information flows are directly dependent on one’s location on the geopolitical map and are subject to market rules, many important studies conducted outside the main capital centres remain unknown in the international academic sphere despite the significant results and motivation of researchers. Thanks to scholars such as those who contributed to this volume, translation studies in Ukraine and the excellent research done at its universities both now and in the past have become more visible.

This volume is a collection of papers from the conference Translation Studies in Ukraine as an Integral Part of the European Context held in Bratislava on May 12–13, 2022, and is divided into five thematic parts: Thoughts and Reflections; On Historical Justice in Translation Studies; On Methodological Aspects of Translation; On Linguistic Aspects of Translation; On Trauma and Manipulation.
