TL;DR: The dominant paradigm for describing the contemporary world is that of globalization as mentioned in this paper, which is the intensification of worldwide social relations which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring many miles away and vice versa.

TL;DR: The Transnational History of Translation as mentioned in this paper is an excellent overview of the history of translation and its application in the field of cosmopolitanism, including the following: 1. Translation and the New Cosmopolitanism. 2. Translational Assimilation.

TL;DR: The authors examines the ways in which language mediates experience across cultures and assesses a range of travel narratives by writers such as Bruce Chatwin, Dervla Murphy, Eva Hoffman and Jonathan Raban.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the Translation Age, which began with The House of Translation and ended with Translating Limits, and the importance of knowing your own language.

TL;DR: The political meaning of cultural translation is not a quality external to the concept and capable of being discussed in a haphazard way as discussed by the authors, and no discussion of the concept can easily dispense with an analysis of the very concrete devices of such translation if it strives to maintain contact with the political and existential issues at stake in the debate on cultural translation.
