In so doing, he brings to light new sources for the distinctiveness of each. The general method guiding his particular analyses of movement from one medium to the other is itself a major contribution to translation theory.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMichael Holquist, Yale University\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eRobert Stam\u003c\/b\u003e is University Professor at New York University.
