Translation Practices
Through Language to Culture
Series:
This cutting-edge collection, born of a belief in the value of approaching âtranslationâ in a wide range of ways, contains essays of interest to students and scholars of translation, literary and textual studies. It provides insights into the relations between translation and comparative literature, contrastive linguistics, cultural studies, painting and other media.
Subjects and authors discussed include: the translator as âgo-betweenâ; the textual editor as translator; Ghirriâs photography and Celatiâs fiction; the European lending library; La Bible dâAmiens; the coining of Italian phraseological units; Michèle Robertsâs Impossible Saints; the impact of modern translations for stage on perceptions of ancient Greek drama; and the translation of slang, intensifiers, characterisation, desire, the self, and America in 1990s Italian fiction.
The collection closes with David Platzerâs discussion of translating Dacia Marainiâs poetry into English and with his new translations of âHo Sognato una Stazioneâ (âI Dreamed of a Stationâ) and âLe Tue Bugieâ (âYour Liesâ).
