Translation as Innovation: Bridging the Sciences and the Humanities was
the theme of the second biennial conference coordinated through a
partnership between the Center for Translation Studies at the University
of Illinois and the Centre d'Études sur la Traduction at the University
of Paris Denis-Diderot. The proceedings of that conference, collected
here, examine the role of translation in the transmission of knowledge,
particularly in the sciences, recognizing translation as a non-neutral
activity and instead as an act that may enhance topic awareness or even
generate debate.
