9780801855450: Echoes of Translation: Reading Between Texts

Sinossi

Wearing Bauhaus tights and a happy, knowing smile, the author leaps from German to Greek to French, from H÷lderlin to Nietzshe to Brecht to other works corresponding to a Romantic/early modernist aesthetic of translation. His essays on echolalia, the names of the gods, and Eros are solidly argued, backed by textual scholarship, and founded on prodigious feats of reading and interpretation.

Recensione

"In Rainer Nägele's new book, translation becomes a pretext for assembling a Benjaminian constellation of master-texts prodigious merely in their decipherment: Hölderin, Baudelaire, Benjamin himself, Kafka, and Brecht; Heidegger and Derrida in the background, and so on. In three separate chapters, one focusing on echolalia, one on the names of the gods, and a consummate one on Eros, Nägele assembles works corresponding to a Romantic/early modernist aesthetic of translation -- a hovering between languages and linguistic modalities that is in keeping with other Romantic scenarios for an aesthetic transcendence grounded in secular culture and human capability. Indicative of Nägele's mastery of the essayistic form, each chapter is founded on prodigious feats of reading and interpretation, each is solidly argued, and each is backed by a wonderful stock of textual scholarship." -- Henry Sussman, State University of New York at Buffalo

Descrizione del libro

Readings of Sophocles, Hölderlin, Baudelaire, Nietzsche, and Benjamin illuminate the extraordinary territory that lies not merely between texts but also between languages -- in translations.
