Zusammenfassung:"Robichaud offers an analysis of experimental uses of translation in contemporary literature. These are instances in which translation is used as a stimulus for creative writing and performance rather than a transfer from one language to another. Combining close readings of literary texts alongside poetically astute passages from works by Avital Ronell and Walter Benjamin, amongst others, the book's highly original literary and poetically inflected style reexamines key translation studies concepts, asking what translation can make visible. The book challenges our pragmatic understanding of translation by turning attention to its possibilities as an art form in contemporary innovative writing practices as well as its yet untapped potential for the critic. To this end, translation is presented as a vital method of reading, not just of writing, that has creative and critical potential beyond translation as an end in itself. By dwelling in the speculative spaces of texts, and drawing attention to the ontic dimension of translation as poiesis, the book values oblique and uncertain, even unfinished, sources of meaning. In focusing on translation's inchoate and promiscuous uncertainty, the book celebrates the plasticiity of language, ideas, as well as the desire to interpret over fluency."--
