Avenues of Translation

Resumen del Libro

Libro Avenues of Translation

Winner of the 2020 SAMLA Studies Book Award — Edited Collection Cities both near and far communicate in a variety of ways. Travel between, through, and among urban centers initiates contact, and cities themselves are sites of ever-changing cultural and historical encounters. Predictable and surprising challenges and opportunities arise when city borders are crossed, voices meet, and artistic traditions find their counterparts. Using the Latin word for “translation,” translatio, or “to carry across,” as a point of departure, Avenues of Translation explores how translation perpetuates, diversifies, deepens, and expands the literary production of cities in their greater cultural context, and how translation shapes an understanding of and access to a city's past and present literary and cultural practices. Thinking about translation and the city is a way to tell the backstories of the cities, texts, and authors that are united by acts of translation. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

Frank Lloyd Wright

Libro Frank Lloyd Wright

Ask Americans to think of a famous architect and the person they are most likely to name is Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright's work, his reputation, and his long and colorful career have made him an icon of modern American architecture. But despite his status as America's most celebrated architect, his influence throughout an active practice spanning the years 1896 to 1959 is so wide and complex that it has been difficult to grasp fully. The essays in this book look not at the United States, the context usually associated with Wright, but at countries around the globe. Anthony Alofsin has assembled ...

La pobreza de las naciones

Libro La pobreza de las naciones

En nuestro primer trabajo (La Argentina 1945 – 2004): Líder Mundial en Deterioro y Retroceso) nos hemos esforzado en buscar – y encontrar – evidencia empírica sobre el proceso de paulatina degradación que ha venido sufriendo la Argentina en las últimas cinco / seis décadas. Uno de los hallazgos más notables ha tenido que ver con que Argentina, partiendo de la pobreza alrededor de los años 1880, logró convertirse en un país rico en menos de dos generaciones. Y luego, notablemente, y a partir de mediados de 1940 partiendo de un país rico, se ha empobrecido y degradado en el...
