"How do I apply narrative theory?": Socio-narrative theory in translation studies

TLDR: There has been a growing interest in applying socio-narrative theory to translation studies, with Baker's ideas extended and applied to several different areas of inquiry as mentioned in this paper, including a revised typology of narratives, the combination of narratological and sociological approaches, and a new emphasis on the importance of narrators and temporary narrators in the reconfiguration of narratives.

Abstract: Since the publication of Translation and Conflict: A Narrative Account (Baker 2006), there has been a growing interest in applying socio-narrative theory to Translation Studies, with Baker’s ideas extended and applied to several different areas of inquiry. This article gives a brief overview of these projects, and discusses in more depth the example of my own application and development of narrative theory. This includes a revised typology of narratives, the combination of narratological and sociological approaches, an intratextual model of analysis, and a new emphasis on the importance of narrators and temporary narrators in the (re)configuration of narratives. The article ends with a brief discussion on further topics within Translation and Interpreting Studies to which narrative theory might be applied.
