Abstract

Inhoud volgens uitgever:##What is the relationship between translation and society and, in particular, developing society? In answering this question, this book aims, on the one hand, to provide a philosophy of translation. Marais conceptualizes translation through a lens of complexity and emergence theories and relates these theories to some of the newest social research. He then links translation to development studies; through empirical research, he looks at developing contexts, including the translation of governmental policies for local economic development, the role of translation in development work initiated by NGOs, and translation within informal sectors of the economy.
