{"product_id":"untranslatables-bethany-wiggin-9780810133433","title":"Un\/Translatables: New Maps for Germanic Literatures","description":"The term \"Untranslatables\" is rooted in two explorations of translation written originally in German: Walter Benjamin's now ubiquitous \"The Task of the Translator\" and Goethe's extensive notes to his \"tradaptation\" of mystical Persian poetry. The essays collected in \u003ci\u003eUn\/Translatables\u003c\/i\u003e unite two inescapable interventions in contemporary translation discourses: the concept of \"Untranslatables\" as points of productive resistance, and the Germanic tradition as the primary dialogue partner for translation studies. The essays collected in the volume pursue the critical itineraries that would result if \"Untranslatables,\" as discussed in Barbara Cassin's \u003ci\u003eDictionary of Untranslatables\u003c\/i\u003e, were returned, productively estranged, to their original German context. Thus, these essays explore Untranslatables across Germanic literatures--German, Yiddish, Dutch, and Afrikaans--and follow trajectories into Hebrew, Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese, English, and Scots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bethany Wiggin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0810133431\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780810133433\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Northwestern University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Bethany Wiggin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49096742895871,"sku":"9780810133433","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/untranslatables-bethany-wiggin-9780810133433","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
