The event is organized as part of the APVV project Translation and aspects of reception of social science and humanities texts as cultural and literary transfer in the 20th century.

This issue explores translation in the social sciences and humanities as an intellectual intervention that shapes disciplines, cultures, and historical narratives. Moving beyond literary frameworks, the featured articles examine translation across diverse contexts – from religious texts in 18th-century Italy, publications in Ukraine in the 1920s–1930s, American philosophy in Slovakia before 1989, to post-Soviet Estonia and the international spread of Maoism, Russian Formalism, and Latin American thought. Together, they highlight the critical impact of paratexts, terminology, censorship, and ideology on the cross-cultural dynamics of knowledge production.
