In formal postcolonial jargon, writing back signifies an interplay
where one cultural practice - commonly called the Western - is
being modified, resisted or abandoned to give room for alternative
modes of expression and creation. In its post-90 development
towards the cultural turn, translation studies has conversely
become occupied with ideological concerns. Who translates, and who
/ what is being (re-)translated? Where is the power? The metonymics
of translation, the « wandering process informing all cultural
change, postulates the operation of different agencies (i.e., the
writer as translator, the translator as writer) and different
geophysical, ideological and cultural levels of representation
(i.e., the migratory text as a mediation of both the local and the
foreign). The book examines the specific historical, social and
political hegemonic patterns of postcolonial translation in
interdisciplinary fields. It explores translation as a dynamic site
of ambivalences in its location and re-location of new centers and
peripheries. The writers come from a variety of academic areas:
history of ideas, anthropology, literature, and cultural studies.
They include Robert Young (Oxford), Christiane Fioupou (Toulouse),
Ovidi Carbonell i Cortes (Salamanca), Stephanos Stepanides
(Cyprus), Sebnem Susam-Sarajeva (Edinburgh), Lars-Hakan Svensson
(Linkoping), and Christina Gullin (Kristianstad).
