• "Translating Divine Truth – The Translation of Religious Texts", Rimini 1996.
• "Metaphors", Roma 2007.
• With Robert Hodgson: "Similarity and Difference in Translation", New York 2004.
Arduini’s research focuses on the concept of the ‘rhetorical field’. Rhetoric, in this sense, is not merely a speaking praxis or a useful tool in text analysis but the way in which communities and cultures act in communication. Ultimately, it is how they see and build their worlds. Rhetoric, then, is an anthropological concept which requires a trans-disciplinary approach (spanning linguistics, philosophy, translation studies, etc.) in order to be investigated.
