Abstract
Personal socio-academic contributions have been particularly influential in the emergence and early development of TIS (Translation and Interpreting Studies). This is shown through the analysis of three case studies, the Leuven-CETRA-EST lineage, the ESIT-Interpretive Theory paradigm and the birth of the Japan Association for Interpreting (and Translation) Studies. Besides these particularly spectacular and unusual cases in which personal socio-academic contributions played a major role, individual researchers can help break the isolation of small branch-specific TIS communities by organizing face-to-face and online meetings and interaction, and help ensure that the TIS population is renewed through a supportive and inspiring attitude that would give graduating students motivation to engage in research. There is no guarantee that TIS will continue to exist as a disciplinary entity, but what it has gained through its disciplinary existence so far could be useful for future investigations into translation and interpreting.
논문초록
개인의 사회학문적 기여는 통번역학의 부상 및 초기 발전에 특히 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 이는 루벤-CETRA-EST 계보, ESIT-해석이론 패러다임, 일본통(번)역학협 회의 태동 등 3가지 사례연구의 분석에서 잘 드러난다. 이처럼 개인의 사회학문적 기 여가 중대한 역할을 한 이례적이고 특히 인상적인 사례 이외에도, 개별 연구자는 대 면·온라인 회의 및 소통 기회 마련을 통해 소규모 분파 단위로 구성된 통번역학 공동 체의 고립을 해소하는 데 도움을 줄 수 있다. 또한 영감을 주고 힘을 북돋는 태도를 바 탕으로 졸업 예정자에게 학문에 대한 동기를 부여함으로써 새로운 통번역학 학자들을 발굴할 수 있다. 앞으로도 통번역학이 단일 독립 학문 분야로 존재할는지 보장할 수 없 으나, 지금까지 독립적 학문으로서 쌓아 올린 성과는 통번역에 대한 향후 연구에 유용 하리라고 본다.
