Beskrivning
Eurocentrism, Qurʾanic Translation and Decoloniality contributes to the understanding of Eurocentrism in Translation Studies and engages with the concept through the lens of scholarship on Arabic and Qurʾan translation.This book calls for a deeper consideration of Eurocentrism as essential for several debates in the discipline, including its scientific character and future development. It claims that the angle of Arabic and Qurʾan translation is a valuable – and nearly unexploited – area where tensions in translation scholarship can play out in revealing ways. The book also draws connections between Eurocentrism, Qurʾan translation and decolonial thought in order to highlight ‘decoloniality’ as a useful framework for imagining a post-Eurocentric discipline.The book will appeal to scholars and postgraduate students and researchers interested in Translation Studies, particularly within the areas of Arabic, Qurʾanic, Islamic and religious translation.

“This book engages critically with the concept of Eurocentrism arguing that it straightjackets our understanding of the field of Qur’an translation. Through a close and careful examination of bibliographic databases and scholarship on the subject, the author argues for decoloniality as a useful framework for imagining a post-Eurocentric discipline and for the conception of the field of Qur’anic translation.”Dr Ahmed Elimam, University of Leicester, United Kingdom“Based on meticulous research, Eurocentrism, Qurʾanic Translation and Decoloniality offers a detailed picture of Eurocentrism’s impact on, and distortions of, research in Translation Studies as well as concrete and compelling proposals for decolonial interventions. An important contribution to the field.”Dr Neil Sadler, University of Leeds, United Kingdom
