While becoming more and more visible in the globalizing academic landscape, partly because of the recognition of PhDs in Translation Studies, the many colleagues who represent the new discipline have good reasons not to assume that they have no more identity problems, although the homogeneity of their research community is not fully obvious. The use of English may seem to have a positive impact on our general image, particularly in the name of the discipline (Translation Studies or TS). Heterogeneity may have positive effects on a discipline, but the lack of harmonization between the various trends of the discipline (training of translators and interpreters, machine translation, descriptive and theoretical research which could be related to applied or fundamental research) may generate a negative impact. Such a lack of harmonization does not make easier integration between and into other academic traditions. There are good reasons for distinguishing between internal and external homogeneity, as one does not really go without the other. Experts in TS could obviously have been more performative in interdisciplinary initiatives. However, in more general terms, academic blindness cannot be excluded. The fact is that several important trends and opportunities in terms of multilingualism, linguistics, society, and communication have been ignored in our discipline. It is the case, for example, of some new innovative movements focusing on internationalization and globalization. How could a static idea of university and disciplines be compatible with research on translation?
