Alif

Call for Articles—Alif 38, 2018 Guest-edited by Mona Baker  Abstract deadline: October 1, 2016  Article submission deadline: May 1, 2017 The point of departure for this special issue of Alif is that knowledge is ‘produced’ rather than ‘discovered’, and that translation is a core mechanism for the production and circulation of all forms of knowledge. This topic has received relatively limited attention in translation studies to date, and even less in related disciplines such as cultural studies and the history of ideas.
