The Afterlife of Texts in Translation: Understanding the Messianic
in Literature reads Walter Benjamin's and Jacques Derrida's
writings on translation as suggesting that texts exist within a
process of continual translation. Understanding Benjamin's and
Derrida's concept of 'afterlife' as 'overliving', this book
proposes that reading Benjamin's and Derrida's writings on
translation in terms of their wider thought on language and history
suggests that textuality itself possesses a 'messianic' quality.
Developing this idea in relation to the many rewritings and
translations of Don Quijote, particularly the multiple rewritings
by Jorge Luis Borges, Edmund Chapman asserts that texts consist of
a structure of potential for endless translation that continually
promises the overcoming of language, history and textuality itself.
