Translation Spaces is a biannual, peer-reviewed, indexed journal that recognizes the global interdisciplinary impact of translation. The journal envisions translation as multi-faceted phenomena that can be studied (from) within a complex set of spaces where knowledge, beliefs, and values encounter one another. These global spaces of encounter are virtual, as in the boundless cyberspace of today’s
Internet, and physical, as in the world’s rapidly expanding multilingual and multicultural cities. They are also disciplinary: arenas of discourse within which scholars explore the frontiers where translation practice and theory interact most dramatically with the emerging landscape of contemporary globalization. As such, the journal actively encourages researchers from diverse domains as communication studies, technology, economics, commerce, law, politics, news, entertainment and the sciences to engage in translation scholarship. It explicitly aims to stimulate an ongoing interdisciplinary and inter-professional dialogue among diverse communities of research and practice. The first issue (1) follows a non-track format and is open for proposals from potential guest editors. The second issue (2) follows a format of seven topical tracks that consider translation in terms of its impact on social and cultural institutions and processes: Global Dynamics; Socio-Cultural Spaces; Political and Legal Directions; Technologies; Multimedia; Sciences; and Professionalism. We also welcome articles on topics and approaches that may not fit these pre-established tracks, but which keep in the spirit of the journal’s interdisciplinary vision.
