%X The main goal of this paper is to provide a self-reflective look into the trajectory of translatology (Translationswissenschaft) from 1972 to the present. In accordance with this purpose, it aims to ad- dress the challenges which the discipline is still facing trying to achieve its autonomy as an academic field of research which should deal with the problems clustered round the phenomenon of ¡°translation¡±. Although almost a half century has passed since James Holmes¡¯ call for the consolidation of translation-oriented research as a separate discipline, the field of translation-oriented research is still struggling with basic scientific-theoretical problems: This study shows that there is still a lack of a general consensus regarding the research scope, i.e., the research object of the discipline as a result of which translatology keeps borrowing terms, notions and theories from various disciplines such as linguistics, text linguistics, literary studies, psycholinguistics, communication studies, cultural studies and, last but not least, sociology. This ¡°direct¡± interdisciplinary interaction has led to a persistent fragmentation of the discipline into several research traditions such as translation studies, traductologi£¿a and traductologie. Signs of scholars¡¯ concerns of losing the communality and ¡°common ground¡± in the discipline are also manifest in the publication of handbooks and readers. How- ever, the resulting situation today shows that scholars still import models and methodologies from other disciplines, let alone try to set proper translatological models which can serve to explain the phenomenon of translation with all its components. Taking also the overall picture of the discipline mentioned above into consideration, this study aims to discuss possible ways of creating a systematic translation-oriented observation structure which can help settling the main scientific-theoretical disputes in the discipline
