Through a refreshing mix of essay forms, from scholarly study to practical translation toolkits, Avant-Garde Translation explores territories as diverse as children’s picturebooks, multilingual poems, and visual artworks, and proposes various translation strategies such as audio-visual collages, ninja invisibility, and collaboration with invented translators. The spirited and provocative contributions intervene in the field of translation studies to shake up the status quo: by highlighting the critical and creative connections between thought and practice, the book shows how literary translation can be an exploratory playground for radical transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The Approaches-series follows the developments of contemporary translation studies from its real beginnings in the 1970s up to the present day. It does so in a completely open and free manner, with full attention to the many aspects of a phenomenon that is a barometer both for the contacts in our own society and those with other societies – as well as for how people think, talk and act interculturally, in good times and in bad times.”  -Ton Naaijkens, Utrecht University, the Netherlands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures  Notes on Contributors    1 Introduction: Translation Needs an Avant-Garde   Alexandra Lukes    2 The Avant-Garde of Translating and Blaise Cendrars’s “Académie Médrano”: A Set of Reflections and Translations   Clive Scott    3 Say It in Splayn Words, Splain It in Sane Worse   Erik Bindervoet and Robbert-Jan Henkes    4 The Non-existent Translators of Fernando Pessoa   Matías Battistón, Ana Laura Paolini, Gerardo Supino  and Norberto Magenta    5 Outranspo in Conversation with Contemporary Art: From Haroldo de Campos to a Curatorial Practice of Intersemiotic Translation   Pablo Martín Ruiz    6 To Erre Is Calque: The Uses and Abuses of Calque in Avant-Garde Translation   Lily Robert-Foley    7 Prismatic Translation 2.0: A (Potential) Future for Avant-Garde Translation   Conor Brendan Dunne    8 “Now Open the Box”: Translating Avant-Garde Picturebooks   Audrey Coussy    9 Reading a Multilingual Poem: A Practice in Avant-Garde Translation?   Alexandra Lukes    10 An Alphabet of Avant-Garde Perspectives on World Literature and the Translator’s (In)visibility   With an Avant-Garde Translation of Walter Benjamin’s “Die Aufgabe  des Übersetzers”   Douglas Robinson    Index of Names","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51360805585239,"sku":"9789004546363","price":95.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/avant-garde-translation-9789004546363","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
