Monography profile

Selected Chapters from the Theory and Practice of Translation in the Humanities and Social Sciences contribute to systematic research in the field in Slovakia. In their individual chapters, the authors address problematic and under-researched topics in this area, from its broadest context (reflections on its basic concepts, function, and place; historical publishing context; terminological context) through the transformation of theoretical questions into translation practice or research (intercultural transfer of thinking in literary studies, and also of proper names; the use of discourse analysis in translation studies) to reception contexts (translations of Ancient Greek and Roman literature, non-fiction works by U. Eco, and Russian religious philosophy in the Slovak environment). As a valuable source of information, unavailable elsewhere, and of inspiration for further study or research, the book is intended particularly for university teachers and students of translation studies and philology in general, as well as philosophy, history, and social sciences, for researchers in these fields, especially translation scholars, and for translators.
