{"product_id":"the-strange-loops-of-translation-douglas-robinson-9781501382468","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\u003eGödel, 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 1501382462\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501382468\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 07\/27\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Douglas Robinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425299316991,"sku":"9781501382468","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a66af8f3-7caf-42d7-b1f6-beb7df73424f.jpg?v=1761538285","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-strange-loops-of-translation-douglas-robinson-9781501382468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
