Multilingual Literature as World Literature de Dr Jane Hiddleston

Multilingual Literature as World Literature: Literatures as World Literature

Editat de Dr Jane Hiddleston, Dr. Wen-chin Ouyang
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 dec 2022
Multilingual Literature as World Literature examines and adjusts current theories and practices of world literature, particularly the conceptions of world, global and local, reflecting on the ways that multilingualism opens up the borders of language, nation and genre, and makes visible different modes of circulation across languages, nations, media and cultures.The contributors to Multilingual Literature as World Literature examine four major areas of critical research. First, by looking at how engaging with multilingualism as a mode of reading makes visible the multiple pathways of circulation, including as aesthetics or poetics emerging in the literary world when languages come into contact with each other. Second, by exploring how politics and ethics contribute to shaping multilingual texts at a particular time and place, with a focus on the local as a site for the interrogation of global concerns and a call for diversity. Third, by engaging with translation and untranslatability in order to consider the ways in which ideas and concepts elude capture in one language but must be read comparatively across multiple languages. And finally, by proposing a new vision for linguistic creativity beyond the binary structure of monolingualism versus multilingualism.

Recenzii

This illuminating collection urges us to adopt a strikingly different framework as we explore the moments of connection and enmeshing between languages which allow ideas, forms and aesthetics to circulate across languages, cultures and societies. For researchers of translation studies in particular, this approach will be richly rewarding.
Overall, especially for those interested in the authors discussed in each chapter, this collection is a useful resource. The different approaches taken by the contributors to multilingualism and world literature raise many thought-provoking questions in this growing field.
This wide-ranging collection makes a bracing intervention both in translation studies and in current debates over world literature. Moving beyond the common emphasis in both fields on a movement of texts from one language to another, Hiddleston and Ouyang and their contributors construe multilingualism as a fundamental feature of world literature, and of literature's worldliness. From its trenchant introduction through its illuminating case studies, Multilingual Literature as World Literature exemplifies the border-crossing fluidity it celebrates.
Viewing world literature not as books in circulation but, importantly, as writing that emerges in the world's swirl of tongues, Hiddleston and Ouyang's volume demonstrates the urgency and rich rewards of reading literature outside the strictures of monolingualism.
The remarkably rich chapters in this book foreground linguistic plurality as the key framework for approaching world literature. The emphases on creativity, imbrication and heterogeneity that ensue constitute a robustly disruptive challenge - notably to the monolingualism, linguistic indifference, Anglonormativity and myths of effortless translatability on which too many previous studies of this literary phenomenon have variously relied. The result is a volume that will become an essential point of reference for all serious scholars in the field of world literature. Here is compelling evidence of creative multilingualism in action.
