Translating Buddhism (eBook, ePUB)

Historical and Contextual Perspectives

Produktbeschreibung

Although many Buddhist studies scholars spend a great deal of their time involved in acts of translation, to date not much has been published that examines the key questions, problems, and difficulties faced by translators of South Asian Buddhist texts and epigraphs. Translating Buddhism seeks to address this omission. The essays collected here represent a burgeoning attempt to begin to shape the subfield of translation studies within Buddhist studies, whereby scholars actively challenge primary routine decisions and basic assumptions. Exploring questions including how interpretive translators can be and how cultural and social norms affect translations, the book draws on the broad experiences of its contributors-all of whom are translators themselves-who bring different themes to the table. Each chapter can be used either independently or as part of the whole to engender reflections on the process of translation.
