Despite the rising academic interest in sociological perspectives in Translation Studies, relatively little research has so far been devoted to translators' social background, status struggles and sense of self. The articles assembled here zoom in on the "groups of individuals" who perform the complex translating and/or interpreting tasks, thereby creating their own space of cultural production. Cutting across varied translatorial and geographical arenas, they reflect a view of the interrelatedness between the macro-level question of professional status and micro-level aspects of practitioners? identity. Addressing central theoretical issues relating to translators? habitus and role perception, as well as methodological challenges of using qualitative and quantitative measures, this endeavor also contributes to the critical discourse on translators? agency and ethics and to questions of reformulating their social role. The contributions to this volume were originally published in Translation and Interpreting Studies 4:2 (2009) and 5:1 (2010). 410 0$aBenjamins current topics ;$vv. 32. 606 $aTranslating and interpreting 615 0$aTranslating and interpreting. 676 $a418/.02 686 $aES 700$qSEPA$2rvk 701 $aSela-Sheffy$b Rakefet$f1954-$01800329 701 $aShlesinger$b Miriam$f1947-2012.$01861099 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954159003321 996 $aIdentity and status in the translational professions$94470267 997 $aUNINA
