Lost (and found) in translation: sociologies of translation

Abstract

This article is intended to situate the reader in a relatively recent though already quite complex debate, by mapping the field of sociology of translation and presenting its main theoretical-methodological perspectives, which are, in our view: cultural translation; the Actor-Network Theory, by Bruno Latour and Michel Callon; and bourdieusian sociology of translation. Such lines of thought and research can, on the one hand, contradict each other, but, on the other hand, they can also be combined, expanding the analytical scope and demonstrating its interdisciplinary character.

Keywords
translation; sociology of translation; cultural translation; Bruno Latour; Pierre Bourdieu
