Synthesis, 3 / 2024: 219-228.Pages: 219-228Language: EnglishURL:https://synthesis.ro/pdf/2024/3/17_Martin.pdf Abstract This article is the first part of a larger essay that advances a general theory of translation. It starts from the argument that we are all translators (even self-translators) and we are all translated throughout our lives. The paper offers an analysis of the state of the field of translation studies under the conditions of irrepresibile globalization and techonolgical and media revolution. Nowadays “Translational Turn” is discussed taking into account the convergence between the implicitly colonizing trend of American language and culture and self-colonizing aspirations of  “small” languages and cultures in quest for international recognition.

Synthesis, 3 / 2024: 207-216.Pages: 207-2016Language: EnglishURL:https://synthesis.ro/pdf/2024/3/16_Eichel.pdf Abstract This article briefly explores some of the current main theoretical frameworks in studying world literature, with a focus on David Damrosch’s recent books Comparing the Literatures (2020) and Around the World in 80 Books (2020). As both of these works have been translated into Romanian in 2023, the travelling notion of world literature and its particular horizons and possible meanings in Romanian raise questions about the concept’s “refractions” and nuances in local and regional contexts. I argue that although Damrosch’s reception in Romanian academia long predates his translation into Romanian language, there is still little consensus with regard to appropriate equivalents of world literature concepts in Romanian. In a small national culture which still negotiates its positions within the networks of world literature, responses to major paradigms can be shaped not just epistemologically, but also ideologically.
