“…D'hulst takes "mediation" in another sense, which is unlike Mohanty's position not so common because he puts "cultural translation" as "mediation between different cultural practices" [4]. Furthermore, "M" is used for "mirror", whereby the "linguistic encounters of cultures" gets a new emphasis.…”

“…"R" is used by D'hulst and stands for "rendering cultural items" [4]. That usage of the term rendering seems to be an alternative for translation, yet, in that special case, D'hulst does not focus on equivalence between codified lexical items of two or more languages but on a way to express the original meaning by any appropriate linguistic units of a target language.…”

“…Yet, the majority of descriptions comprehends the "linguistic encounters of cultures" more or less as mediation to fulfill or satisfy the needs of a certain culture, as D'hulst [4] puts it. Cabré also speaks about communicative needs but first of all within the area their interest in terminology focuses on concepts and how they can be named clearly and unambiguously" [8].…”

Metonymy is a more deeply embedded and ingrained capability of the human mind than classical approaches may tell. The cognitive turn in linguistics changed the point of view to the interaction between language and mind, thus, new approaches to understand what metonymy is might come into life. The takeover of ideas of metonymy into applied branches of linguistics like translation studies (as a complement to the idea of equivalence), into researches of language comparison (intracultural-intercultural, diachronic-synchronic), or into the philosophy of science (on sorts and forms of definition of terms) may reveal the true nature and the potentials of metonymy. This leads to a comprehension of metonymy as a common, probably universal capability of human language and thinking-beyond the boundaries of languages and cultures.

“…He calls for "strict rationality", indicating that the differences between Europe and America are becoming an epistemological breach. See also D'Hulst (2008). At this stage, I find myself on the side of America on this topic.…”

This article discusses agency in translation as conceptualized in recent developments in Translation Studies. As a subtext, it poses the representation of its own data as a methodological problem. The article discusses Donald Strachan as a possible agent of translation, probing the implications of his interpreting and translation work in a border setting in South Africa in the late 1800s. It then juxtaposes this perspective with the translation theory of Edwin Gentzler, who claims that translators are creating cultures by way of their work. From this encounter, the author suggests a number of implications for researching translation in Africa. The paper ends by reflecting on its own subtext.
