Contesting Peter Newmark
Viaggio, Sergio
1992
Abstract
When l first read Newmark, l was impressed,
educated and, at the same time, somewhat uneasy. l
have since read and reread everything bearing his signature to come my way and last, if he is to be believed
most comprehensive and systematised articulation
of his thoughts on the matter. In the following pages l
shall endeavour to show that, his claims to the contrary
notwithstanding, Newmark does indeed have a single,
coherent theory of translation, that it is a wrong and
didactically dangerous one, and that, despite ali that, he
makes a substantive and most opportune and welcome
contribution to the development of our discipline. l
believe that both Newmark the thinker and translator are
batter than his theory.
