On Writers as Translators / Sur les écrivains-traducteurs

The overarching aim of this book is twofold, as it dwells on a sociology of translation in both theory and practice. On the one hand, it seeks to provide a theoretical overview of this newly emerged interdisciplinary field; on the other, its main concepts are put to the test while analysing translation as a side activity (as delivered by writers and / or academics). The study focuses on (seven) Romanian translators only but is intended as a tribute to translators in general.

The sheer necessity to bring translators center stage has been signalled by various translation scholars in the recent past.
