In response to this challenge, transnational perspective offers a new approach to the growing body of cultural texts with an emphasis on experiences of migration, transculturation, bilingualism and (cultural) translation.  The introductory analysis and the fifteen essays in this collection critically interrogate complex relations between transnational and translation studies, bringing to this dialogue a much needed gender perspective. Divided into three parts (From Transnational to Translational; Reading Across Borders and Transnational in Translation), they address a range of issues relevant for this debate, from theoretical problems to practical questions of literary criticism and translation, understood as an act of cultural interpretation. The volume mostly deals with contemporary literary and cultural production, but also with classical texts and modernist literature. Its particular quality is a strong (although not exclusive) focus on Central and East European literatures, and more generally on women writers. Its interdisciplinary, transnational and intercultural perspective makes it relevant across disciplinary boundaries, from literary and translation studies to gender studies, cultural studies and migration studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The essays are beautifully crafted, meticulously researched, synergistically connected to one another and together form an important and much needed contribution not only to literary studies but to cultural and feminist studies and to the intellectual history of the last half a century.\" https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/journals\/slavic-review\/article\/abs\/times-of-mobility-transnational-literature-and-gender-in-translation-ed-jasmina-lukic-sibelan-forrester-and-borbala-farago-transnational-perspectives-in-gender-studies-budapest-central-european-university-press-2019-viii-344-pp-notes-index-9500-hard-bound\/27C3186A833CF0DF366061E48B09407F -- Domnica Radulescu * Slavic Review *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLukic, Forrester and Farago: Introduction: Transnational Literatures and Cultures in\/and Translation 1.\tFrom Transnational to Translational  Susan Stanford Friedman: Translational Migrations: Novel Homelands in Monica Ali's Brick Lane   Eleonora Federici and Vita Fortunati: Theorizing Women's Transnational Literatures: Shaping New Female Identities in Europe through Writing and Translation   Azade Seyhan: Crossing Borders in Perilous Zones: Labors of Transport and Translation in Women Writers of Exile   Sonia Fernandez Hoyos and Adelina Sanchez Espinosa: Zygmunt Bauman's Liquidity and Transnational Women's Literature: Nancy Huston as a Case Study  Jasmina Lukic: Travelling Theory as Theory in Translation: Transnational and Transgenerational Perspectives  2.\tReading Across Borders   Grace Ledbetter: Translation into Dance: Adaptation and Transnational Hellenism in Balanchine's Apollo.
