This innovative and interdisciplinary work brings together six
essays which explore the complex relationship between linguistic
translation and spatial translation and argue for an understanding
of linguistic translation as an embodied phenomenon. Integrating
perspectives from philosophy, multilingual poetry and literature,
as well as science and geometry, the book begins with a reading of
translators Donald A. Landes' and Richard Howard's own notes on the
translation and interpretation of the French words sens and langue.
In the essays that follow, Rabourdin intertwines insights from both
phenomenology and translation studies, engaging in notions of
space, body, sense, and language as filtered through a multilingual
lens and drawing on a diversity of sources, including work from
such figures as Jacques Derrida, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Henri
Poincare, Michel Butor, Caroline Bergvall, Jean-Jacques Lecercle,
Louis Wolfson and Lisa Robertson. This interdisciplinary thematic
perspective highlights the need for an understanding of the
experience of translation as neither distinctly linguistic or
spatial but one which fluidly allows for the bilingual body to
sense and make sense. This book offers a unique contribution to
translation studies, comparative literature, French studies, and
philosophy of language and will be of particular interest to
students and scholars in these fields.
