Reviews

“The Approaches-series follows the developments of contemporary translation studies from its real beginnings in the 1970s up to the present day. It does so in a completely open and free manner, with full attention to the many aspects of a phenomenon that is a barometer both for the contacts in our own society and those with other societies – as well as for how people think, talk and act interculturally, in good times and in bad times.” -Ton Naaijkens, Utrecht University, the Netherlands
