Circulation of Academic Thought

Contributors of this anthology develop cross-disciplinary approaches to translation and circulation of academic thought. They critically engage with agents negotiating intellectual exchange. They discuss specifics of translation and meaning formation, context and style for the translation of economic, philosophical and sociological thought.

Academic thought circulates on a time-space continuum: authors, ideas and methods are discovered, discussed, discarded, praised, rewritten, refracted, transformed, transposed and translated. The contributors of this anthology develop cross-disciplinary approaches to study and understand translation of academic thought. They critically engage with the relationship of translation and meaning formation, context and style, as well as with the social and discursive positioning of translators in academic fields and beyond. Furthermore, the agents negotiating intellectual exchange are placed in specific political and historical contexts as well as respective scholarly frameworks of economics, philosophy, sociology and related fields.
