Abstract

This chapter offers a snapshot of the books that focus on translation and interpreting that were published in 2015. The works come not only from within the discipline of translation and interpreting studies, but also from other areas of the humanities such as anthropology and English literature. The chapter has the following subsections: 1. Introduction; 2. Textbooks and Other Reference Materials, which serve to consolidate the disciplines of translation studies and interpreting studies; 3. Audiovisual Translation, where scholars focus on the translation (often either dubbing or subtitling) of media such as film and TV; 4. Specialised Translation and Translation Technologies, where changes in technology and working practices have affected the theory and practice of translation; and 5. Historical, Literary and Cultural Approaches to Translation.
