AI-generated Abstract
This paper explores the interplay between translation and colonialism, using the metaphor of "conquest" to analyze how translation functions as a tool for appropriation and cultural dominance. It critically examines historical contexts in which translation practices serve colonial ambitions, illustrating how translation can both reinforce and challenge hegemonic narratives. Through an analysis of key figures and their strategies, the work argues that translation not only conveys meaning but also mediates power relations by reshaping foreign texts to align with the cultural and ideological frameworks of the translator's own society.

History through a Translation Perspective
"Quote from article: "When we carry out research on translation history, we face a choice. Are we going to attempt to extrapolate the translation features we uncover in the historical context we are examining in order to contribute to a wider, general or more global history of translation – thereby also making our work more accessible to Translation Studies (TS) in general – or are we going to address those scholars who share our historical subject and introduce them to the insights which the study of translation can offer? In short, is translation the object of our research, or is it the lens through which we research our historical object? In this paper I will discuss this choice and, drawing on my own area of research in translation history, I will argue that seeking to introduce the insights that the study of translation can bring to a wider community of cultural historians, who do not usually take translation into consideration, should be at least one of the objectives of historians of translation."
