This innovative book takes the concept of translation beyond its
traditional boundaries, adding to the growing body of literature
which challenges the idea of translation as a primarily linguistic
transfer. To gain a fresh perspective on the work of translation in
the complex processes of meaning-making across physical, social and
cultural domains (conceptualized as translationality), Piotr
Blumczynski revisits one of the earliest and most fundamental
senses of translation: corporeal transfer. His study of translated
religious officials and translated relics reframes our
understanding of translation as a process creating a sense of
connection with another time, place, object or person. He argues
that a promise of translationality animates a broad spectrum of
cultural, artistic and commercial endeavours: it is invoked, for
example, in museum exhibitions, art galleries, celebrity
endorsements, and the manufacturing of musical instruments.
Translationality offers a way to reimagine the dynamic
entanglements of matter and meaning, space and time, past and
present. This book will be of interest to students and scholars in
translation studies as well as related disciplines such as the
history of religion, anthropology of art, and material culture.
