Status der ÜbersetzerInnen

David Katan
Universität Salento
Übersetzung von Anna O’Brien & Mansi Sheth
Inhaltsverzeichnis

Übersetzung ist zwar einer der ältesten Berufe, hat aber immer noch „keinen offiziellen Status“ (Gouadec 2007: 245) oder vielmehr keine bestimmte „Stellung in der Gesellschaft“. Darüber hinaus gibt es keine vereinbarten Indikatoren für den Status von ÜbersetzerInnen (Grbić 2010), und das Konzept selbst ist „ein komplexes, subjektives und kontextabhängiges Konstrukt“ (Dam & Zethsen 2008: 74). Hier wird unter Status verstanden, dass das Übersetzen als ein wichtiges Fachgebiet geschätzt wird, welches spezifische übersetzerische Fähigkeiten erfordert, und dass Kompetenz ( Competence ) und Qualität ( Quality in Translation ) als Schlüsselvoraussetzungen für das professionelle Arbeiten gelten. Nachstehend werden drei Kontexte erörtert: der akademische Kontext, der Marktkontext und der Kontext der ÜbersetzerInnen selbst.
