Is an anthology a genre? About anthologies on translation
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the context of a forthcoming book on anthologies about translation theory published in Spain and Portugal, the present work studies the issue of the anthology as a genre in an attempt to isolate its defining characteristics. Following this, we analyze anthologies of texts on translation theory, which we take to be historical works offering a collection of texts–some drawn from the Western tradition and others that are less wellknown. Essentially, our objectives are both pedagogic and investigative. To achieve them, we draw on the concepts of rewriting and selection as well as that of the anthology as a book. To analyze all these aspects we draw on examples from the principle existing anthologies.
