Center and periphery: Power relations in the world of translation

The idea for this book was conceived over lunch a few years ago. As usual, we failed to switch off work completely, and instead of chatting about the weather, we chatted about languages, translation, the mutual influences of different cultures and languages, adventures we had had with other participants in the translation process, and the funny things we frequently find in other people’s trans-lations while teaching, studying, translating, and reading for pleasure.
