Clive Scott (University of East Anglia)

The Philosophy of Literary Translation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

While reading transforms texts through memories, associations and re-imaginings, translation allows us to act out our reading experience, inscribe it in a new text, and engage in a dialogic and dynamic relationship with the original. Clive Scott reveals how this translational activity generates new ways of relating to ecological issues.
