ABSTRACT

This article considers the concept of mediation with regards to the practice of translation. The first section provides examples from various historical periods. The following sections link translation to the concept of gatekeeping in communication studies. This involves a number of agents, who make decisions concerning what material can be published and in what form. Thus, translations may result from ideological decisions which, as the case study shows, do not generate the expected response on the part of the intended audience. The final discussion introduces the concept of agenda-setting, widely used in communication studies, and is closely related to gatekeeping.

摘要

本文考虑了与翻译实践有关的调解概念。第一部分提供了不同历史时期的例子。以下各节将翻译与传播研究中的关守概念联系起来。这涉及许多代理商，他们决定可以出版什么材料和以什么形式出版。因此，翻译可能源于意识形态的决定，如案例研究所示，意识形态的决定并未在目标受众方面产生预期的回应。最后的讨论介绍了议程设置的概念，该概念在传播研究中得到了广泛使用，并且与守门密切相关。
