Resum
Translation is an indispensable means of human communication. It has been practiced since the beginning of time, and it has been —and is still very much so— part of the luggage carried by travellers, adventurers, exiles, soldiers, or by people crossing boundaries with a different language and culture tucked away in their backpacks. In the dawn of the 21st century, new approaches to translation are giving new perspectives to the consideration of what translation or a translated text means. One of these approaches originates in the combination of the disciplines of Translation Studies, Postcolonial Studies, and Cultural Studies. This very combination is proving to be a fruitful one as we will see in the following pages.
