Summary
This book proposes an original way for scholars in a range of subjects such as Education, Literary Studies, and Philosophy to approach texts and other phenomena through the concept and practice of translation. The books take on translation as related to the notion of aporia is applied to a number of seminal and classical texts within literature, poetry, and philosophy, which gives the reader better understandings of the workings of language and what happens within and between languages, as well as within and between disciplines, when some form of interpretation or analysis is at work. Importantly, the book develops the notion of aporias of translation as a way to learn and develop our understanding of texts and phenomena, and thus functions as a pedagogical process, which helps us come to terms with the boundaries of language and academic disciplines. Its interdisciplinary perspective makes the book of value for graduate students and scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences.
