    TRANSLATION AS A FORM
    DOUGLAS ROBINSON
    This is a book-length commentary on Walter Benjamin’s 1923 essay "Die Aufgabe des Übersetzers," best known in English under the title "The Task of the Translator." Benjamin’s essay is at once an immensely attractive work for top-flight theorists of translation and comparative literature and a frustratingly cryptic work that cries out for commentary. Almost every one of the clai...

    TRANSLATIONALITY
    DOUGLAS ROBINSON
    This book defines "translationality" by weaving a number of sub- and interdisciplinary interests through the medical humanities: medicine in literature, the translational history of medical literature, a medical (neuroscience) approach to literary translation and translational hermeneutics, and a humanities (phenomenological/performative) approach to translational medicine. It ...

    THE PUSHING-HANDS OF TRANSLATION AND ITS THEORY
    DOUGLAS ROBINSON
    This book presents an East-West dialogue of leading translation scholars responding to and developing Martha Cheung’s "pushing-hands" method of translation studies.

The concept of pushing-hands suggests a promising line of inquiry into the...

    THE DAO OF TRANSLATION
    DOUGLAS ROBINSON
    The Dao of Translation sets up an East-West dialogue on the nature of language and translation, and specifically on the "unknown forces" that shape the act of translation. To that end it mobilizes two radically different readings of the Daodejing (formerly romanized as the Tao Te Ching): the traditional "mystical" reading according to which the Dao is a mysterious force that ca...

    TRANSLATION AND EMPIRE
    DOUGLAS ROBINSON
    Arising from cultural anthropology in the late 1980s and early 1990s, postcolonial translation theory is based on the observation that translation has often served as an important channel of empire. Douglas Robinson begins with a general presentation of postcolonial theory, examines current theories of the power differentials that control what gets translated and how, and trace...

    PERFORMATIVE LINGUISTICS
    DOUGLAS ROBINSON
    In this book, Douglas Robinson introduces a new distinction between 'constative' and 'performative' linguistics, arguing that Austin's distinction can be used to understand linguistic methodologies.

Austin, H. Pau...
