Translation and Time: Migration, Culture, and Identity

＂This volume brings together 10 essays on the relation between temporality and translation, engaging in both theoretical reflection and consideration of concrete case studies. Although the essays can be read independently, three major overlapping themes run through them and facilitate a discussion about the many ways in which the theoretical and practical consideration of temporality may provide new insights and research directions for translations studies＂--
