Since the 1970s, the field of Translation Studies has undergone a continuous process of metareflection, driven by the assessment of translation and interpreting as two distinct but interconnected modes of language mediation. These intradisciplinary debates, largely based on the evaluation of translation and interpreting as separate yet related fields, have sought to understand the current state of research within an ever-expanding discipline, while also striving for (institutional) identity and autonomy.

Recharting Territories presents a novel and comprehensive intradisciplinary approach to studying translational phenomena. This approach is designed to be applied at various analytical levels, including theoretical, conceptual, methodological, and pragmatic, and aims to highlight both similarities and differences between subdisciplines within Translation Studies. Rather than fostering a territorial mindset among scholars, this approach seeks to raise awareness of the ever-shifting terrain on which Translation Studies stands.
