{"product_id":"emporium-2","title":"Emporium","description":"In \u003ci\u003eEmporium,\u003c\/i\u003e Aditi Machado investigates transnationalism and translation in poems that follow a merchant woman as she travels a twenty-first century “silk route.” As on the original silk route, this merchant is engaged in economic transactions but also cultural exchanges, un-monetizeable reciprocities, the sensory excesses of the marketplace: coins moving from hand to hand, the smell of food and sweat infusing the air, the “noise” of translation and multilingualism. Is this tradeswoman in control of her “destiny”\/business or is she a commodity of impenetrable global forces? Her investigative, digressive travel seems a way to interrogate history and money and her own entanglement in such irresistible threads.","brand":"Nightboat Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49756887253336,"sku":"9781643620299","price":18.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781643620299_da88839d-8fb7-4848-9588-9ab43c79db02.jpg?v=1765334733","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/emporium-2","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
