Cruzando puentes. Un acercamiento al hoy y el ayer de los Estudios de Traducción e Interpretación desde la TISP
Crossing Bridges. An Approach to Past and Current Translation Studies from the Perspective of Translation and Interpreting for Public Services

Summary/Abstract: Today's societies are in a continuous change, moving from monocultural to multicultural societies. As a consequence, a series of changes and adaptations are needed. Building bridges is not always enough but crossing those bridges. In this sense the work of translators and interpreters, mediators, or communication experts is fundamental. The main objective of this article is to show the evolution and some trends of Translation and Interpreting Studies (TIS), through the lenses of Public Service Interpreting and Translation (PSIT) (also known as Community Interpreting & Translation), a subarea of TIS) that has undergone great changes since that 1st Congress of Critical Link in 1995 in Canada. The great volume of international meetings and publications, seminars, courses or workshops that have taken place in the 21st century is a sign of its vitality.
