THE CREATIVE CIRCLE: ARTIST, CRITIC, AND TRANSLATOR IN AFRICAN LITERATURE (COMING SOON)
ISBN: 1592210422Translation encompasses more than the movement of expression from one language to another and includes the translating of one culture into another. The particularities of historical experience translated into the broader grasp of humanity and the specific personal experience translated in that broader grasp are also part of this complex process.
The four African writers whose addresses to the conference are included in this volumeAssia Djebar, Emmanuel Dongala, Nuruddin Farah, and Nadine Gordimerall speak of translation as a personal experience into breadth of vision.
Of the ten papers in this collection, the first three are concerned with problems in translating language and culture, the next four focus on the African writer as translator, and the last three deal broadly with the way history and culture are translated into literature. Contributors include André Djiffack, Gillian Gane, Raoul J. Granqvist, Kwaku A. Gyasi, Olabode Ibironke, Lisa McNee, Philip A. Noss, Michael A. Toler, Ann Elizabeth Willey, and Christopher Wise.
