Routledge Research in Translation and Religion

Routledge Research in Translation and Religion is a book series intended to advance original interdisciplinary research at the intersection of translation and interpreting studies and the study of religion. The series includes a wide range of investigations into translation in relation to religious practice and belief in any sacred or geographical domain, in historic or contemporary contexts. Topics can address (but are not limited to) gender, empire, politics, authority, materiality, technology, philosophy, non-professionalism, media, interpreting, re-translation, AI, missions and institutions. Books in this series formulate translation as a critical concept or key interpretative mode that shapes and transforms the contents, purpose and function of a text, practice or phenomenon perceived as sacred or religious. We invite proposals for single or co-authored monographs, shortforms and edited volumes that engage with this key constitutive role of translation in the construction, transmission and perpetuation of the religious from fresh perspectives.
