The actor–network theory and the Bourdieusian concepts of field and habitus will be deployed to reveal the academic networks Osteuropa is involved in and the role of the actors in them. Osteuropa's Russian collaborative partners and joint publication projects are presented in the paper. The actors of translation in the process of representing foreign authors and discourses in the target culture, as well as the journal's translation policy and translator's agency, are discussed.
