Mapping the Gulfs of translation studies.

- Abstract
This paper is concerned with an evaluative overview of Translation Studies (TS) as a rapidly growing interdiscipline through the different attempts to map it. Its main preoccupation is first to examine the trends of some contemporary research in Translation Studies and describe the growing fragmentation it is undergoing. Second and as a matter of consequence, it will also overview some teaching trends by looking at some of the most favored streams of specializations at the postgraduate levels using examples from universities in North America and the Gulf. This will finally allow the author to assess the extent and impact of the mutual distances and ignorance these subfields may encounter within the same discipline, namely through a comparison with sociology, and the way it has established the subfield of metasociology and how this experience could extend to TS.
