A Multilingual Nation

Translation and Language Dynamic in India

Herausgeber: Kothari, Rita

Beschreibung

An unusual and unorthodox anthology of essays by leading thinkers and writers, new and young researchers,A Multilingual Nation: Translation and Language Dynamics in Indiawill not let us go back to thinking about translation and language quite the same way. Is there only one Hindi, one Marathi, and is it even possible to comfortably suggest that there is one source language? Shaking the institution of both language and translation, this anthology overturns the principles of translation in the West, and provocatively argues that translation is not a 'solution' to the allegedly chaotic situation of many languages, rather its inherent and inalienable part.
