Abstract

The commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the journal Trans. Revista de traductología provides a unique opportunity to take stock of the evolution in research in the field of translation studies over this period. Drawing on illustrative examples, this contribution discusses important transformations in the object of study of translation-related research, as well as its increasing commitment to interdisciplinarity and to the fine-tuning of its methodological approaches. These emerge as ways forward for addressing a ubiquitous and elusive phenomenon which is conceived as occurring at numerous intersections among heterogeneous cultures, languages and identities coexisting and colliding within spaces-in-translation, especially in the global and digital age.
