Translation and World Literature
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-64175-4 (ISBN)
Translation and World Literature offers a variety of international perspectives on the complex role of translation in the dissemination of literatures around the world. Eleven chapters written by multilingual scholars explore issues and themes as diverse as the geopolitics of translation, cosmopolitanism, changing media environments and transdisciplinarity. This book locates translation firmly within current debates about the transcultural movements of texts and challenges the hegemony of English in world literature. Translation and World Literature is an indispensable resource for students and scholars working in the fields of translation studies, comparative literature and world literature.
Susan Bassnett is Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Glasgow and Professor Emerita at the University of Warwick. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, a Fellow of the Institute of Linguists and President of the British Comparative Literature Association. She is author of Translation Studies 4th Edition (2014), Translation (2014) and Translation in Global News (2009), all with Routledge.
