LSL Linguistics and Literature on MLA Commons 10 years, 3 months agoLike other forms of treachery, translation can be either concealed or exposed. Though most literary translators work in the dark and some embrace invisibility as an ideal, all translations can be situated along the continuum of illusionist-anti-illusionist or domesticating-foreignizing. A variety of paratexts lay bare the devices of translation.…[Read more]

Monika Dix replied to the topic MLA 2016 Austin: Panel Ideas? in the forum
