Self-Translation: Brokering originality in hybrid culture provides
critical, historical and interdisciplinary analyses of
self-translators and their works. It investigates the challenges
which the bilingual oeuvre and the experience of the
self-translator pose to conventional definitions of translation and
the problematic dichotomies of "original" and "translation",
"author" and "translator". Canonical self-translators, such Samuel
Beckett, Vladimir Nabokov and Rabindranath Tagore, are here
discussed in the context of previously overlooked self-translators,
from Japan to South Africa, from the Basque Country to Scotland.
This book seeks therefore to offer a portrait of the diverse
artistic and political objectives and priorities of
self-translators by investigating different cosmopolitan,
post-colonial and indigenous practices. Numerous contributions to
this volume extend the scope of self-translation to include the
composition of a work out of a multilingual consciousness or
society. They demonstrate how production within hybrid contexts
requires the negotiation of different languages within the self,
generating powerful experiences, from crisis to liberation, and
texts that offer key insights into our increasingly globalized
culture.
