{"product_id":"translating-montreal-sherry-simon-9780773531086","title":"Translating Montreal: Episodes in the Life of a Divided City","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe divided Montreal of the 1960s is very different from today's cosmopolitan, hybrid city. Taking the perspective of a walker moving through a fluid landscape of neighbourhoods and eras, Sherry Simon experiences Montreal as a voyage across languages. Sketching out literary passages from the then of the colonial city to the now of the cosmopolitan Montreal, she traces a history of crossings and intersections around the familiar sites and symbols of the city - the mythical boulevard Saint-Laurent, Mile End, the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, Mont-Royal. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTranslating Montreal\u003c\/i\u003e follows the trajectories of adventurous cultural translators such as Malcolm Reid, F.R. Scott, and A.M. Klein - pioneers of the 1950s and 1960s - Pierre Anctil, whose translations from Yiddish to French are emblematic of the dramatic reroutings now occurring across the Montreal landscape, and contemporary writer-translators such as Gail Scott, Erin Mouré, Jacques Brault, Michel Garneau, Nicole Brossard, and Emile Ollivier. Simon argues that translation is a dynamic and subtle tool for analysing cultural contact. An original take on cultural relations in the city, \u003ci\u003eTranslating Montreal \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the emergence of the \"new\" Montrealer. No longer \"Franco-Québécois,\" \"Anglo-Québécois,\" \"immigrant,\" or \"ethnic,\" the new Montrealer is a citizen of a mixed and cosmopolitan city.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sherry Simon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0773531084\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780773531086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McGill-Queen's University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Sherry Simon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48850215338239,"sku":"9780773531086","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/translating-montreal-sherry-simon-9780773531086","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
