*This highly original book is the first to show how a consideration of translation can expand and develop the field of sociology and shows how translation relates to and intervenes in the most pressing social and political issues of our times
* Authored by a specialist in both sociology and translation, this has wide appeal across the humanities and social sciences and will be recommended reading for courses on translation and society and within social theory and cultural sociology
*Fills a real gap in the literature for books about how translation can inform and transform the study of other fields and is the first in a new series of books aiming to continue this development

'Sociologists! Read this book! It is a major contribution to sociological theorising, and rams home the point that you ignore translation matters at your peril.
Translation Studies scholars! Read this book! Bielsa pushes the 'sociological turn' in Translation Studies further, deeper, and better than anyone else has yet managed.
Everyone else! Read this book! It is a brilliantly incisive intervention into many of the pressing and inter-related cultural, linguistic, and political matters of our time.'
David Inglis, University of Helsinki, Finland
'This book makes a significant contribution to the sociology of translation. It shows how translation is interwoven into the very fabric of social life and is central to many major questions in modern social and political thought.'
Gerard Delanty, Sussex University, UK
