Paintings that “Say” what Translation Is: Book Cover Illustrations in Translation Studies

Summary/Abstract: Skibińska analyses reproductions of paintings on book covers in translation studies.She assumes that the paintings are consciously choice and related to a particularunderstanding of translation; the book cover, meanwhile, is treated as an iconic metaphorreflecting this understanding. Skibińska demonstrates that book covers in the Frenchseries “Traductologie” fail to convey the editors’ concept of translation, while paintingsreproduced on the covers of stand-alone publications by single or multiple authorshighlight the translation’s relationship to the original, suggesting that a translation – theresult of the original’s transformation and a separate entity at the same time – maintainsa unique memory of the original; it is its illusory equivalent or representative.
