Opis

Translation and Geography investigates Western spatial imaginations, in particular those constructed by literary works, and their translations across languages, media and epochs. Ground-breaking in its approach and relevant across a range of disciplines from geography and history to comparative literature and translation studies, this book makes a compelling case for a form of cultural translation that reframes the contributions of language-based translation analysis. Drawing on case studies and readings ranging from the Latin of the Middle Ages to twentieth-century Latin American poetry, this is key reading for translation theory and comparative/world literature courses.

Recenzje

‘Let’s orient translation studies! This is what this intriguing study allows us to do in offering a rich compendium of terms and concepts for navigating the cartographic imagination in translation studies. Essential reading for those working and teaching in geopolitics and the transdisciplinary humanities.’ Emily Apter, New York University, USA
