Translating Translation: Walter Benjamin on the Way to Language

by O'neill

What is it about Walter Benjamin's Task of the Translator? As it is clearly seminal to Translation Studies, why is it rarely, if ever, taken seriously? A re-examination of Benjamin's text in a broader context sheds light on this question and finally reveals the true potential of this text for Translation Studies and beyond.
