The Transcultural turn: models, training and translation itself. New frameworks for training

This introducion gives an overview of the state-of-the-art in modelling the transcultural phenomeno, and of the contents of this issue of the journal. Each of the papers offer a paradigm shift, whether they call it a framework or model, in response to the fact that though such a thing as ‘culture’ and ‘interculturality’ might exist and be useful if not critical concepts in communication, we can no longer presume to ‘locate’ individuals and cultures as neatly as before. The second set of papers reflects on the quality of the intercultural training for translators in particular and also of translation practice.
