?Starting from the literary translations and reflections on the theory of translation of Christoph Martin Wieland, this book deals with different modalities and methods of translating and transmitting? not only from language to language, but also between literary genres, epochs, knowledge formations and nations. Wieland is portrayed as an author and editor who devoted himself? with experimental openness? to a project of mediating and resolving dichotomies such as ‘cosmopolitism’ and ‘nation’.
