Combining insights from Actor Network Theory, Activity Theory and Goffman's Social Game Theory, it examines the relationships between human and textual agents in the production of poetry translations. It maps these relationships onto agents' geographic 'positionality'. Among the findings are:(1) Poetry translation is produced by networks of agents working across a 'distributed' space. This implies that it is simplistic to conceptualise literary translation in terms of one agent's loyalty to one cultural space.(2) Translators often carry less power in a production network than an anthology/journal editor or a living source poet.(3) Networks involving players from source-language regions working in a target-language country are particularly effective in publication terms.Benjamins translation library ;v. 81.Benjamins translation library.EST subseries.Translating and interpretingLiteratureTranslationsTranslating and interpreting.Literature418/.02Milton John1956-1176686Bandia Paul F(Paul Fadio),1961-1280074MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808683903321Agents of translation3914793UNINA
