Resumo Português:

Over the past three decades, chiefly, Translation Studies has been continuously and insistently struggling with a crisis of identity caused by its lack of planned directions and systematisation. If one asked where the discipline was going, probably there would be no answer (or maybe several different ones as it has, in fact, been pulled and pushed in many directions along all these years). The necessity to be recognised and respected as an independent research area has led it to take several different paths, each focusing on different features, emphasising and de-emphasising different nuances which could somehow help accomplish the daring endeavour of constructing an ethos of its own, with space and object acknowledged by other fields of investigation.
