Description
Questions the long-accepted notion that translation reproduces or transfers an invariant contained in or caused by the source text. Contra Instrumentalism aims to end the dominance of instrumentalism by showing how it grossly oversimplifies translation practice and fosters an illusion of immediate access to source texts.
