Even-Zohar’s innovative systemic ap

Even-Zohar’s innovative systemic approach, embraced by many scholars, has laid the ground for a whole new field of research, turning Translation studies from a marginal, often normative philological specialty to a highly theoretical, vital focus of inter-culture research. Developing the field of Translation Studies became for Even-Zohar a fertile springboard for further elaborating hypotheses on culture contacts in general, and particularly on his understanding of processes of ‘culture transfer’, that is of the reception and domestication of inter-culturally imported models and products. Until today Even-Zohar is cited as one of the founding fathers of the modern school of Translation Studies, where his work, and particularly his article, “The Position of Translated Literature”, is repeatedly quoted, translated and reprinted.
