In short, the essays in this book highlight the diversity and ubiquity of translation in Japan as well as the range of methods being used to understand how it is being theorized, positioned, and practiced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Beverley Curran\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138831700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138831704\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Beverley Curran","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065375666431,"sku":"9781138831704","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73bc05ca-0a82-445d-806d-73337c19d6f5.jpg?v=1768674774","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/multiple-translation-communities-in-contemporary-beverley-curran-9781138831704","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
