 Krein-Kühle (2003) For the purpose of this thesis, a translation is defined as the interlingual transposition of a source text into a target text based on the invariance requirement of ST sense/intended sense or 'das Gemeinte' (2.2.1) and involving an interpretation of the ST against the background of factual knowledge (e.g., domain knowledge, encyclopaedic/world knowledge, etc.) underlying the ST. Since scientific and technical STs may be defective (Schmitt 198Th; Horn-Hell 1999), scientific and technical translation may therefore be understood as to include corrections, e.g., to remedy ST flictual inaccuracies, or well-motivated minor revisions, omissions or additions (such as a translator's footnote), but to exclude any revisions, omissions or additions that go beyond the level of sense/intended sense or 'Gemeinte'. It is the sense/intended sense or 'Gemeinte' that is common to both ST and TT and has to be replicated and kept invariant in translation and...

ARTIGOS DA SEÇÃO FOCUS DA REVISTA ISIS, V. 109, N. 4 (2018). Cohen (2018) - Historians of science translating history of science. Too often have I found, on checking available translations into English of texts written in Dutch or in various other languages, how sloppily some of these had been executed. Entire interpretations have been based on translations that you just cannot rely on without closer attention, and it seemed important to me to call Isis readers’ attention to the vital importance that matters of language and, in particular, of translation possess for us historians. Guerrini (2018) - Translation as a way of life Abstract: Historians who work with materials in languages other than their own inevitably do quite a bit of translation in the course of their research and writing. Much of this consists of words, phrases, or sentences, and much remains unpublished. This essay looks at the author’s experiences with this sort of translation as well as with more fo...

ARTIGOS DA SEÇÃO FOCUS DO V. 109, N. 2 DA ISIS. Dupré (2018) - Science and practice of translations Abstract: Historically speaking, scientists have lived and worked in a multilingual world. Given that, on such a world, translation is simply part of (scientific) life, it is all the more remarkable that practices of translation in science have received less attention from historians of science than one might expect. A focus on translation allows historians of science to scrutinize the changes and transformations of scientific knowledge in motion. Instead of presuming that processes of translation are betrayals of the original, and thus asking about the “fidelity” of a translator or the “faithfulness” of a translation, the contributions to this Focus section see those processes as productive of knowledge, part and parcel of the history of science. This Focus section brings together a wide variety of languages and practices of translation in different places and times, from ...
