Former doctoral students edit a book in tribute to Anthony Pym on the occasion of his retirement
The volume includes contributions by former doctoral students from Japan, Colombia, Armenia, China, Türkiye, and the United States, giving just a taste of the success of the international program. One former student from Iran was unable to contribute because of the 80 days of Internet blackout and the bombs that have marked her country's recent history.
The book also includes a reflection by the English translation scholar Professor Andrew Chesterman, resident in Finland, on the notion of borders as read through the works and death of Walter Benjamin.
The volume was presented to Anthony Pym on 26 June 2026 at the Moveable Feast conference in Tarragona:
