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. From this perspective, a particular case of translating is then examined in an attempt to relate overarching theories to actual translation processes and to draw together discourse theory, elements of a sociology of translation and the decisions translators make at both micro-level (for example, word choice) and macro-level (for example, textual strategy).
