A Companion to “Jabberwocky” in Translation

Fri, 11 Oct 2024 00:00:00 +0200

Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky” stands as the most famous nonsense poem of all time. Frequently seen as untranslatable, it has nevertheless (or for that very reason) become a touchstone of translation. Yet, although there are several language specific studies of “Jabberwocky” in translation, a broader comparative approach has not been attempted before. With this companion volume we provide insights into the translation history of “Jabberwocky” from its 1871 publication in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass up to the present. The book includes articles by scholars, critics, translators and poets from across the world. For the first time, it will be possible to compare translation strategies and solutions between more than forty different languages, each contributor focusing on one or a few critically and poetically interesting translations of “Jabberwocky.”

Arbetarlitteratur bortom kanon

Mon, 26 Aug 2024 00:00:00 +0200

Arbetarlitteratur bortom kanon diskuterar och utmanar gränserna för vad vi brukar uppfatta som en arbetarlitterär kanon. Här behandlas olika slag av litterära texter med anknytning till arbetarklass och lönearbete: från kampdiktning, uppbyggelselitteratur och annan folkrörelselitteratur, över tidningsnovell och proletärroman, till postmodern prosadikt, feministisk klassdiktning, folkhemskritiska serier och klassmedveten barnlitteratur. Boken ges ut av Nordiskt nätverk för arbetarlitteraturforskning. Nätverket har i hög grad bidragit till att arbetarlitteraturforskningen idag står stark i Norden, och denna bok syftar till att vidareutveckla intresset för arbetarlitteratur i ett bredare sammanhang.

An Expedition Between Innovation Politics and Anthropology

Torbjörn Friberg — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0200

In An Expedition Between Innovation Politics and Anthropology, Torbjörn Friberg systematically discusses and analyses several specific political phenomena, which are later drawn together to deliberate the general notion of ideology, power, and possible anthropological escape routes in the context of innovation politics. Drawing on fieldwork in the innovation political world (policy model, mediator company, networks, meetings, conferences, events, documents, observations, and interviews), Friberg reconsiders and develops the work of Laura Nader, Manuel DeLanda, Marilyn Strathern, Martin Holbraad, William Graham Sumner, Pierre Bourdieu, Ghassan Hage, and Eric Wolf. In line with this reasoning, Friberg considers the innovation political world as constituted by a new form of structural power and ideology: a political context in which the anthropological world becomes encapsulated by political processes.
