Multilingual Currents in Literature, Translation and Culture (eBook, ePUB)

Redaktion: Gilmour, Rachael; Steinitz, Tamar

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book shows how concepts of 'language' and 'multilingualism' look different when viewed from varied locations, and asks how ideas about literature and literary form must be remade in a contemporary cultural marketplace that is both linguistically diverse and interconnected. Scholars of literary studies, applied linguistics, publishing, and translation studies investigate how multilingual realities shape modes of literary and cultural production. Essays explore literary multilingualism and its relationship to publishing, translation, and canon-formation, considering how literature can be read in relation to other multilingual and translational forms of contemporary cultural circulation.
