Abstract
Abstract
For over two decades, Translation Studies (TS) scholars have argued that the discipline is going through a
‘technological turn’. This paper critically questions whether TS has already completed this “paradigmatic” or “disciplinary turn,”
“a clearly visible and striking” change of direction that can “perhaps even [amount] to a redefinition of the subject concerned”
(Snell-Hornby 2010, 366). After a revision of the notion of ‘turn’ in TS, it will
be argued that the ‘technological’ one has been completed and it can, in fact, be assessed “after it is already complete” (ibid).
It will be shown how the emergence and consolidation of this turn were “driven not by theoretical developments in cognate areas of
inquiry,” but are an “emergent property from new forms of translation practice” (Cronin
2010, 1). As a consequence, it has permeated TS across its different subdisciplines, both in their theoretical
apparatus and/or in their research methodologies. In this examination, the picture that emerges is that translation, across TS,
has in fact been redefined in one way or another as an instance of “human-computer interaction,” even in contexts such as literary
translation.
