This monograph examines how higher education(HE) institutions construct ‘professional identities’ in the classroom, specifically how dominant discourses in institutions frame the social role, requisite skills and character required to practice a profession, and how students navigate these along their academic trajectories. This book is based on a longitudinal case study of a prestigious HE institution specialising in training professional interpreters.   Adopting an innovative research approach, it investigates a community of aspiring professionals in a HE context by drawing on small story narrative analysis from an ethnographic perspective to provide emic insights into the student community and the development of their social identities. The findings (contextualised by examining the curricula of similar institutions worldwide) suggest that interpreter institutions might not be providing students with a clear and comprehensive picture of the interpreter profession, and not responding to its increasingly complex role in today’s society.

Translation studies have traditionally been known to be interdisciplinary. What better term to sum this up than boundaries? A term that means different things in different fields and can be applied to a multitude of topics. Political, personal, symbolic, or professional boundaries, boundaries of the mind as found in psychology, or boundaries in the sociological sense where they separate different fields of knowledge. From politics to geography, boundaries are everywhere. They need to be identified, drawn, or overcome-depending on circumstances and context. What are the boundaries translators and interpreters have to deal with? How do they relate to translation studies in general?Boundaries and translation go hand in hand. As the discipline grows and ever more elements of interdisciplinarity come into play, the more the question of what the boundaries of translation are needs to be asked. Some of the research topics presented in this collection may well extend the boundaries of the discipline itself, while others may look at the constraints and limits under which translators and translations operate, or showcase the role translation and interpreting play in overcoming social or political boundaries.It is with this in mind that the group of young researchers presented in this book has come together. The papers offer insights into the state of the discipline in various nations, often touching on underresearched topics such as the role of translation in the creation of national as well as individual identities or the translation of popular music. They look at the role of culture and, more specifically, sociocultural influences on translation. At the same time, non-linguistic, intra- and extratextual factors are taken into account with particular attention to multimodality. What unites the papers collected is the general tendency to see translation as a means of bringing people together and enabling dialogue, a means of overcoming ideological and social boundaries. By looking both to the past and the future of the discipline, the authors aim to (re)define the boundaries of translation studies.

Dans le domaine des sciences humaines, un grand nombre de traductions sont réalisées par des chercheurs spécialisés, soit par nécessité, soit par intérêt. Mais ces travaux de traduction sont souvent effectués d’une manière « automatique », sans que des considérations systématiques soient menées sur les liens complexes et problématiques qu’entretiennent l’acte de la traduction et celui de la recherche. Lors du colloque international qui s’est tenu à l’Université Renmin de Chine (Beijing, 2015) et portant le même titre que le présent ouvrage, les participants ont souhaité se concentrer sur ces questions jusqu’alors négligées.Ce volume réunit des articles qui étudient la vision critique du chercheur sur la traduction. Qu’elles traitent de textes anciens ou récents, théoriques ou littéraires, quelle que soit la langue étudiée, les contributions tentent de porter un regard attentif sur ces rapports profonds, inhérents, mais peu visibles, entre la recherche et la traduction. Mettant en lumière certains traits caractéristiques de la recherche, les articles soulignent le travail de questionnement, de remise en cause, de prise de risque, de critique, d’innovation et de transmission effectué consciencieusement par le traducteur.
