Translating Others (Volume 2)

<p>Both in the sheer breadth and in the detail of their coverage the essays in these two volumes challenge hegemonic thinking on the subject of translation. Engaging throughout with issues of representation in a postmodern and postcolonial world Translating Others investigates the complex processes of projection recognition displacement and 'othering' effected not only by translation practices but also by translation studies as developed in the West. At the same time the volumes document the increasing awareness the the world is peopled by others who also translate often in ways radically different from and hitherto largely ignored by the modes of translating conceptualized in Western discourses.</p><p>The languages covered in individual contributions include Arabic Bengali Chinese Hindi Irish Italian Japanese Latin Rajasthani Somali Swahili Tamil Tibetan and Turkish as well as the Europhone literatures of Africa the tongues of medieval Europe and some major languages of Egypt's five thousand year history. Neighbouring disciplines invoked include anthropology semiotics museum and folklore studies librarianship and the history of writing systems.</p><p>Contributors to Volume 2: Paul Bandia Red Chan Sukanta Chaudhuri Annmarie Drury Ruth Evans Fabrizio Ferrari Daniel Gallimore Hephzibah Israel John Tszpang Lai Kenneth Liu-Szu-han Ibrahim Muhawi Martin Orwin Carol O'Sullivan Saliha Parker Stephen Quirke and Kate Sturge.</p>
