Visualising Translation History: Fragmented Visualizations Representing Space and Time

  • Philipp Hofeneder

摘要

Knowledge in the humanities is traditionally communicated in verbal (that is written or spoken) form. Research results as well as ideas and thoughts are predominantly accessible via this medium. Visualisations have played and continue to play a central role in the development and dissemination of knowledge. This chapter examines the question of how visual representations of space-time factors can be profitably used in Translation Studies. The focus is on the application and practical implementation. What must be considered when creating visualisations? Which factors play a decisive role? A concrete example consisting of several loosely connected parts will be used to argue that scholarly findings only become visible and thus comprehensible via a visualisation.
