Abstract

It is as if bombings have become a trend in Indonesian society.

Tempo Interaktif, 25 December 2000.

To put it crudely: because the languages of Third World societies – including, of course, the societies that social anthropologists have traditionally studied – are ‘weaker’ in relation to Western languages (and today, especially to English), they are more likely to submit to forcible transformation in the translation process than the other way around.
