TRANSLATORS AND TRANSLATION IN ROMANIAN CULTURE AND SOCIETY
Abstract
In this paper we will tackle the role of translators and translation within the sociology of culture as can be seen from the Romanian discourse on translation from the 19th century to present day. Therefore, we will account for the reasons behind the translation process and the role of translators as social agents in the Romanian culture. We will particularly focus on key moments in the Translation Studies discourse in our culture such as the debate on the role of translations and translators in society in the 19th century. Thus, we will present the views of Romanian personalities that favoured the process and its agents, on the one hand and of those that rejected it on the assumption that it destroyed a culture’s specificity, on the other hand. Also, we will describe the translation process and assess the translators’ status from the beginning of the 20th century to the pre-communist and communist period in Romanian society.
