Translation Changes Everything

Lawrence Venuti, professor of English at Temple University, is a translation theorist and historian as well as a translator from Italian, French, and Catalan. He is a member of the editorial board of The Translator: Studies in Intercultural Communication. In 1998, he edited a special issue of The Translator devoted to translation and minority.

"Venuti opens up new perspectives and, gives rise to fresh thinking...A stimulating collection of essays on current questions in Translation Studies."- Yves Gambier, University of Turku, Finland "An important contribution to one of the main challenges for translation studies today: bridging the gap that still separates what is viewed as 'theory' from the actual practice of translation and, consequently, the establishment of a more productive dialogue between practicing translators and students of translation in general." - Rosemary Arrojo, Binghamton University, USA
