Infos

This book proposes a new way for scholars in, for example, Education, Literary Studies, and Philosophy to approach texts and other phenomena through the concept and practice of translation. Its interdisciplinary perspective makes the book of value for graduate students and scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences. The unique take on translation as related to the notion of aporia is applied to a number of seminal and classical texts within literature, poetry, and philosophy, which gives the reader new understandings of the workings of language and what happens within and between languages, as well as within and between disciplines, when some form of interpretation or analysis is at work. Importantly, the book develops the notion of aporias of translation as a way to learn and develop our understanding of texts and phenomena, and thus functions as a pedagogical process, which helps us come to terms with the boundaries of language and academic disciplines.

Elias Schwieler has a PhD in English literature and holds a position as Associate Professor in the Department of Education at Stockholm University, Sweden. His most recent scholarly work include the book Heidegger on Literature, Poetry, and Education: At the Limits of Metaphysics, published with Routledge (2017), and co-authored with James M. Magrini, College of DuPage, US, and the journal article 'Evolving Bildung: Streaming Media, Art, and Technology' forthcoming in Popular Communication, co-authored with Niclas Ekberg, Luleå University of Technology, Sweden.
