- This collection explores the central importance of values and evaluative concepts in cross-cultural translational encounters. Written by a group of international scholars from a diverse range of linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and directly engaging with the AHRC’s theme “Translating Cultures”, the chapters in this book consider what it means to translate cultures by examining core values and their relationship to key evaluative concepts (such as authenticity, clarity, home, honour, or justice) and how they influence the complex multidimensional process of translation.
While both editors should be credited for the overall shape of this volume outlined in the co-authored Introduction, Piotr Blumczynski as Principal Investigator of the AHRC- project, “English Evaluative Concepts in Translated Religious and Devotional Texts” (AH/J012645/1), was mainly responsible for identifying suitable contributors, suggesting ways of engagement with the main theme of this project, and commissioning the chapters. The collection includes 15 chapters, two of which were authored by the co-editors; of the remaining 13 chapters (the two exceptions being Milan and O’Connor), eleven were contributed by authors personally invited by Blumczynski, approached through his academic networks in the UK and Ireland (Al-Tarawneh, Israel, Johnston, Wielander), Poland (Drewniak, Głaz, Gomola, Tabakowska), France (Underhill), Spain (Bell) and the USA (Maxey).
