Translation and Geography
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-82890-2 (ISBN)
Groundbreaking in its approach and relevant across a range of disciplines from translation studies and comparative literature to geography and history, this book makes a compelling case for a form of cultural translation that reframes the contributions of language-based translation analysis.
Focusing on the different yet intertwined translation processes involved in the development of the Western spatial imaginary, Federico Italiano examines a series of literary works and their translations across languages, media, and epochs, encompassing:
poems
travel narratives
nautical fictions
colonial discourse
exilic visions.
Drawing on case studies and readings ranging from the Latin of the Middle Ages to twentieth-century Latin American poetry, this is key reading for translation theory and comparative/world literature courses.
Federico Italiano is a senior research associate at the Austrian Academy of Sciences and a lecturer in comparative literature at the Universiy of Munich (LMU). He is the author of Between Honey and Stone: Aspects of Geopoetics in Montale and Celan (2009, in Italian) and co-editor of several volumes including Translatio/n: Narration, Media and the Staging of Differences (with Michael Rössner, 2012) and The Disclosure of Light: Contemporary Italian Poetry (with Michael Krüger, 2013, in German).
