Winner of the 2020 SAMLA Studies Book Award — Edited
Collection Cities both near and far communicate in a variety of
ways. Travel between, through, and among urban centers initiates
contact, and cities themselves are sites of ever-changing cultural
and historical encounters. Predictable and surprising challenges
and opportunities arise when city borders are crossed, voices meet,
and artistic traditions find their counterparts. Using the Latin
word for “translation,” translatio, or “to carry across,”
as a point of departure, Avenues of Translation explores how
translation perpetuates, diversifies, deepens, and expands the
literary production of cities in their greater cultural context,
and how translation shapes an understanding of and access to a
city's past and present literary and cultural practices. Thinking
about translation and the city is a way to tell the backstories of
the cities, texts, and authors that are united by acts of
translation. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed
worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
