Translation and Translating in German Studies is a collection of
essays in honour of Professor Raleigh Whitinger, a well-loved
scholar of German literature, an inspiring teacher, and an
exceptional editor and translator. Its twenty chapters, written by
Canadian and international experts explore new perspectives on
translation and German studies as they inform processes of identity
formation, gendered representations, visual and textual mediations,
and teaching and learning practices. Translation (as a product) and
translating (as a process) function both as analytical categories
and as objects of analysis in literature, film, dance,
architecture, history, second-language education, and study-abroad
experiences. The volume arches from theory and genres more
traditionally associated with translation (i.e., literature,
philosophy) to new media (dance, film) and experiential education,
and identifies pressing issues and themes that are increasingly
discussed and examined in the context of translation. This study
will be invaluable to university and college faculty working in the
disciplines in German studies as well as in translation, cultural
studies, and second-language education. Its combination of
theoretical and practical explorations will allow readers to view
cultural texts anew and invite educators to revisit long-forgotten
or banished practices, such as translation in (auto)biographical
writing and in the German language classroom.
