Deconstruction and Translation explains ways in which many practical and theoretical
problems of translation can be rethought in the light of insights from the French
philosopher Jacques Derrida. If there is no one origin, no transcendent meaning, and
thus no stable source text, we can no longer talk of translation as meaning transfer
or as passive reproduction. Kathleen Davis instead refers to the translator's freedom
and individual responsibility. Her survey of this complex field begins from an analysis
of the proper name as a model for the problem of signification and explains revised
concepts of limits, singularity, generality, definitions of text, writing, iterability,
meaning and intention. The implications for translation theory are then elaborated,
complicating the desire for translatability and incorporating sharp critique of linguistic
and communicative approaches to translation. The practical import of this approach
is shown in analyses of the ways Derrida has been translated into English. In all,
the text offers orientation and guidance through some of the most conceptually demanding
and rewarding fields of contemporary translation theory
