• • • Part of the book series (PADLL) Abstract The concept of ‘discourse’ (whether simply in the sense of the organisation of verbal interaction or as uses of language giving voice to the meanings and values of social institutions) has been current in translation studies for many years without generating a great deal of debate about how discourses actually affect translator behaviour. Starting from Foucault’s notion of discours, and drawing on (critical) discourse theory (Blommaert 2005) and Hatim’s (e.g. 2001) notion of socio-textual practices, this chapter places discourses and translators within the framework of communities of practice (Wenger 1998). Viewing translation as a socially situated activity implies consideration of the multiple communities of which translators (and other text users) are members — and the essential role of discourses in negotiating, reinforcing or challenging power relations (Barton and Tusting 2005). This, in turn, argues for an inclusive account of the act of translating, relating all participants to the processes of positioning of self and others, negotiation and ownership of meanings, in which they are involved. Issues of identity and power are thus central to this conception of translating, not in the sense of predetermined positions or roles but as negotiated social practice.
