Translation as flow: A few thoughts about the role of detail

Adriana Serban

Résumé

The theme of transmission is of such relevance to translation (and the other way round) that the two terms can be said to overlap, in more ways than one. Clearly, both of them designate complex processes which cannot under any circumstances be reduced to the mere transportation and delivery of an item although, of course, delivering translation jobs is a stage of the process itself, irrespective of whether a translator works in the literary field or translates film or opera, technical texts, or acts as interpreter. In this paper, I conceptualise both translation and transmission as flow, in other words a form of movement involving a continual change of place of the constituent particles, by comparison with the type of movement which is possible (under specific conditions) for solid entities which need to travel as a block, with the position of each constituent remaining unchanged in relation to that of the others.
