{"product_id":"the-strange-loops-of-translation-douglas-robinson-9781501382420","title":"The Strange Loops of Translation","description":"One of the most exciting theories to emerge from cognitive science research over the past few decades has been Douglas Hofstadter's notion of \"strange loops,\" from \u003ci\u003eGel, Escher, Bach\u003c\/i\u003e (1979). Hofstadter is also an active literary translator who has written about translation, perhaps most notably in his 1997 book \u003ci\u003eLe Ton Beau de Marot\u003c\/i\u003e, where he draws on his cognitive science research. And yet he has never considered the possibility that translation might itself be a strange loop.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this book Douglas Robinson puts Hofstadter's strange-loops theory into dialogue with a series of definitive theories of translation, in the process showing just how cognitively and affectively complex an activity translation actually is.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Douglas Robinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 150138242X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501382420\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/13\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.07lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Douglas Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058755531007,"sku":"9781501382420","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d5b67db7-557c-44ca-a9f9-089fbe27ca9a.jpg?v=1685054336","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-strange-loops-of-translation-douglas-robinson-9781501382420","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
