WRITING BACK IN AND TRANSLATION KARTONIERT (TB)

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
centres 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 Cortés (Salamanca)  Stephanos Stepanides (Cyprus)  Sebnem
Susam-Sarajeva (Edinburgh)  Lars-Håkan Svensson (Linköping)  and Christina Gullin
(Kristianstad).
