| Summary |
"Borges and Translation: The Irreverence of the Periphery studies the importance of translation for Borges and the importance of Borges for translation. Sergio Waisman demonstrates the extent to which Borges's ideas about translation lie at the core of his aesthetics, from his earliest essays and translations, to Historia universal de la infamia, to a zenith in Ficciones and El Aleph. In these texts, translation, reading, and writing become nearly interchangeable practices of creation, of hermeneutic inquiry, and of aesthetic and ethical reflection."--Jacket |
