INDIA IN TRANSLATION THROUGH HINDI LITERATURE G...

What role have translations from Hindi literary works played in shaping and transforming our
knowledge about India? In this book  renowned scholars  translators and Hindi writers from
India  Europe  and the United States offer their approaches to this question. Their articles
deal with the political  cultural  and linguistic criteria germane to the selection and
translation of Hindi works  the nature of the enduring links between India and Europe  and the
reception of translated texts  particularly through the perspective of book history. More
personal essays  both on the writing process itself or on the practice of translation  complete
the volume and highlight the plurality of voices that are inherent to any translation.As the
outcome of an international symposium held at the University of Lausanne  Switzerland  in 2008
India in Translation through Hindi Literature engages in the building of critical histories of
the encounter between India and the West  the use and impact of translations in this context 
and Hindi literature and culture in connection to English (post)colonial power  literature and
culture.
