According to Apter, FESTAC expanded the horizons of blackness in Nigeria to mirror the global circuits of its economy. By showcasing masks, dances, images, and...

ISBN: 9780691116099 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In recent years, scholarship on translation has moved well beyond the technicalities of converting one language into another and beyond conventional translation theory. With new technologies blurring distinctions between "the original" and its reproductions, and with globalization redefining national and cultural boundaries, "translation" is now emerging as a reformulated subject of lively, interdisciplinary debate. Nation, Language, and the Ethics of Translation enters the heart of this debate. It covers an exceptional range of topics, from simultaneous translation to legal theory, from...

Debating World Literature
ISBN: 9781859844588 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the continuing debates about the cultural dimensions of globalization the question of literature has been something of a poor relation. This volume seeks to redress the balance, with a starting point of Goethe's idea of Weltliteratur, from which it travels out to various parts of the globe at different historical junctures. The book's concerns include the legacy of Goethe's idea; variable understandings of the term literature itself; cross-cultural encounters (the contact of the oral and the written, the paradoxes of exoticism); the nature of small literatures and the cultural politics of...
