Univ.-Prof. Dr.phil. Stefan Baumgarten leitet seit März 2021 das Institut für Translationswissenschaft an der Universität Graz und forscht in den Bereichen Translationstechnologie, digitaler Wandel und Ethik, sowie transkulturelle Kommunikation und Posthumanismus. In der Vergangenheit beforschte er den Schwerpunktbereich Translation und Kapitalismuskritik, wie einige seiner Veröffentlichungen widerspiegeln: “Translation in Times of Technocapitalism” (Sonderausgabe, Target, 2017), Translation and Global Spaces of Power (Sammelband, Multilingual Matters, 2018; jeweils mit Jordi Cornellà-Detrell), “Translation and Hegemonic Knowledge under Advanced Capitalism” (Forschungsartikel, Target, 2017) oder “Adorno Refracted: German Critical Theory in the Neoliberal World Order” (Buchbeitrag, Key Cultural Texts in Translation, 2018).
Zu seinen jüngsten Publikationen im Bereich Translation, digitaler Wandel und Ethik zählen “Digitalisation, Neo-Taylorism and Translation in the 2020s” (Forschungsartikel, Perspectives, 2023; mit Carole Bourgadel), “Welcome to the translation machine! Translation Labour in Times of Techno-Triumphalism” (Buchbeitrag, Translation and Neoliberalism, 2024), “Mean Machines? Technological (R)evolution and Human Labour in the Translation and Interpreting Industry” (Sonderausgabe, Perspectives, 2024; mit Michael Tieber). Er ist zudem Mitherausgeber des The Routledge Handbook of Translation Technology and Society (mit Michael Tieber), das im Juni 2025 erscheinen wird. Aktuell arbeitet er an zwei Sammelbänden: Posthumanist Thinking in Translation and Interpreting Studies: Humans, Machines and Epistemic Change (John Benjamins, voraussichtlich 2026, mit Şebnem Bahadır-Berzig und Raquel Pacheco-Aguilar) und Radical Thought in the Anthropocene: Dimensions and Potentials of Critical Theory (Palgrave Macmillan, voraussichtlich Ende 2025, mit Susanne Kogler).
