Written by leading experts in the area, The Routledge Handbook of Spanish Translation Studies brings together original contributions representing a culmination of the extensive research to-date within the field of Spanish Translation Studies. The Handbook covers a variety of translation related issues, both theoretical and practical, providing an overview of the field and establishing directions for future research. It starts by looking at the history of translation in Spain, the Americas during the colonial period and Latin America, and then moves on to discuss well-established areas of research such as literary translation and audiovisual translation, at which Spanish researchers have excelled. It also provides state-of-the-art information on new topics such as the interface between translation and humour on the one hand, and the translation of comics on the other. This Handbook is an indispensable resource for postgraduate students and researchers of translation studies.

Durante el curso académico 2012-2013 la Facultad de Traducción y Documentación de la Universidad de Salamanca ha cumplido sus primeros 20 años de vida. En el primer bloque se abordan las fuentes de información para usos especializados, área que constituye uno de los lazos indiscutibles entre nuestras disciplinas; su uso es una actividad cotidiana para los unos y su análisis una de las razones de ser para los otros. Ese interés compartido es germen de una colaboración constante, donde la selección y el empleo de la información genera caminos de ida y vuelta ineludibles. El segundo bloque se centra en un ámbito caracterizado por la vertiente social de estos campos de conocimiento, aludiendo tanto a la ética de sus profesionales como a su visibilidad y proyección. El estudio de su relevancia en nuestras sociedades, su reconocimiento y su misión constituyen un elemento básico para su desarrollo y adaptación al entorno que los demanda. Finalmente, el tercer bloque gravita en torno a las distintas perspectivas del concepto de lenguaje, que, concebido en un sentido amplio –idiomas, lenguajes documentales, lenguajes de marcado–, atañe tanto a traductores e intérpretes como a gestores de información, en la medida en que permite la creación, la difusión y el intercambio de conocimiento de manera efectiva.

Teaching Dialogue Interpreting is one of the very few book-length contributions that cross the research-to-training boundary in dialogue interpreting. The volume is innovative in at least three ways. First, it brings together experts working in areas as diverse as business interpreting, court interpreting, medical interpreting, and interpreting for the media, who represent a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches. Second, it addresses instructors and course designers in higher education, but may also be used for refresher courses and/or retraining of in-service interpreters and bilingual staff. Third, and most important, it provides a set of resources, which, while research driven, are also readily usable in the classroom – either together or separately – depending on specific training needs and/or research interests. The collection thus makes a significant contribution in curriculum design for interpreter education.
