    Allison Margaret Bigelow deposited Gained, Lost, Missed, Ignored: Vernacular Scientific Translations from Agricola’s Germany to Herbert Hoover’s California in the group Group logo of TC Translation StudiesTC Translation Studies on MLA Commons 1 year, 3 months ago

    For the past twenty years, scholars of world and global history and literature have shown that the early modern world was a complex, entangled place. And yet, by emphasizing connection, such work at times overlooks the many separations that drove the engines of global early modernity: transoceanic slave trades, tribute labor, and the economic…[Read more]

    Allison Margaret Bigelow deposited Popol Wujs: Culture, Complexity, and the Encoding of Maya Cosmovision in the group Group logo of TC Translation StudiesTC Translation Studies on MLA Commons 1 year, 3 months ago

    The Popol Wuj is one of the most important, commonly studied, and widely circulated Indigenous literary works from colonial Mesoamerica.

To protect their work from b…[Read more]

    Nicholas T Rinehart deposited Lateral Reading Lyric Testimony; or, The Difficult Miracle of Black Poetry in the Americas in the group Group logo of TC Translation StudiesTC Translation Studies on MLA Commons 1 year, 4 months ago

    Canon, tradition, and origin anchor developmental accounts of Black literary history, describing the forward movement from a singular beginning in terms of birth, maturation, and inheritance. This model delimits a specialized field of study, but also obscures texts, practices, and archives that do not cohere with it. In the study of slave…[Read more]

    Preetha Mani deposited An Aesthetics of Isolation: How Pudumaippittan Gave Pre-Eminence to the Tamil Short Story in the group Group logo of TC Translation StudiesTC Translation Studies on MLA Commons 2 years, 4 months ago

    The influential Tamil writer Pudumaippittan turned to the short story to theorize the relationship between literature and society in the late-colonial era. He used the genre’s brevity to compress his portrayals of well-known female types—such as widows, prostitutes, and goodwives—into singular emotional events. This enabled Pudumaippittan to evoke…[Read more]

    Katina Rogers deposited Translations from ALLADA and EXPERIENCE D’EDWARD LEE, VERSAILLES by Gérard Gavarry in the group Group logo of TC Translation StudiesTC Translation Studies on MLA Commons 2 years, 6 months ago

    At the heart of Gérard Gavarry’s writing are the questions of what power language holds, and what remains beyond the reach of expression. The two translations included here, excerpts from Allada (P.O.L, 1993) and Expérience d’Edward Lee, Versailles (P.O.L, 2009), share little with each other in terms of setting or structure, but explore simil…[Read more]

    This article traces the breadfruit tree’s strange career as an eighteenth-century superfood, its journey from the Pacific world to the Caribbean islands, and the rhetorical practices, epistemological slippages, and linguistic permutations that undergirded these developments.
