{"product_id":"on-translation","title":"On Translation","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Everyone complains about what is lost in translations. This is the first account I have seen of the potentially positive impact of translation, that it represents . . . a genuinely new contribution.\" —Drew A. Hyland\u003cbr\u003e In his original philosophical exploration of translation, John Sallis shows that translating is much more than a matter of transposing one language into another. At the very heart of language, translation is operative throughout human thought and experience. Sallis approaches translation from four directions: from the dream of nontranslation, or universal translatability; through a scene of translation staged by Shakespeare, in which the entire range of senses of translation is played out; through the question of the force of words; and from the representation of untranslatability in painting and music. Drawing on Jakobson, Gadamer, Benjamin, and Derrida, Sallis shows how the classical concept of translation has undergone mutation and deconstruction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247681327448,"sku":"9780253215536","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780253215536.jpg?v=1781074835","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/on-translation","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
