Summary

Self-Translation: Brokering originality in hybrid cultureprovides critical, historical and interdisciplinary analyses ofself-translators and their works. It investigates the challenges which the bilingual oeuvre and the experience of the self-translator pose to conventionaldefinitions of translation and the problematic dichotomies of "original" and "translation", "author" and "translator". Canonical self-translators, suchSamuel Beckett, Vladimir Nabokov and Rabindranath Tagore, are here discussed in the context of previously overlooked self-translators, from Japan to SouthAfrica, from the Basque Country to Scotland. This book seeks therefore to offer a portrait of the diverse artistic and political objectives and priorities ofself-translators by investigating different cosmopolitan, post-colonial and indigenous practices. Numerous contributions to this volume extend the scope ofself-translation to include the composition of a work out of a multilingual consciousness or society. They demonstrate how production within hybridcontexts requires the negotiation of different languages within the self, generating powerful experiences, from crisis to liberation, and texts thatoffer key insights into our increasingly globalized culture.
