  This volume highlights a range of perspectives on the ways in which complexity thinking might be applied in translation studies. The book is divided into four sections, the first of which sets out conceptualizing complexity theory, developed out of systems theory in the decades prior. The volume then frames complexity theory through a variety of lenses, including translation and society, interpreting studies, and intersemiotic translation, to features case studies in which complexity theory has successfully been or might be applied within translation studies. Using complexity theory in translation studies as a jumping off point from which to consider the broader implications of implementing quantitative approaches in qualitative research in the humanities, this volume is key reading for graduate students and scholars in translation studies, cultural studies, semiotics, and development studies.
