We are proud to announce the first issue of the new international,
peer-reviewed journal TRANSLATION STUDIES:
www.informaworld.com/translationstudies
<http://www.informaworld.com/translationstudies>

The journal aims to extend the areas of interest, methodologies and
conceptual frameworks inside the discipline of Translation Studies, while testing the traditional boundaries of the notion of 'translation'
and offering a forum for debate focusing on historical, social,
institutional and cultural issues that are strongly rooted in the text
level, but also go far beyond it.

In addition to scholars within Translation Studies, we invite those as yet unfamiliar with or wary of Translation Studies to enter the discussion. Such scholars will include people working in literary theory, sociology, ethnography, philosophy, semiotics, history and historiography, gender studies, postcolonialism, and related fields.

We invite contributions of approximately 5-8,000 words, in English,
conforming to the guidelines to be found on the journal's website.
