With Health Humanities programs on the rise and medical memoirs flooding our bookshelves, it is easy to forget that the alliances forged between literary representation and medical discourse are new and fragile. From the 19th century onwards, writers from a multitude of traditions have squared off against doctors for the right to diagnostic prominence, particularly in capturing the "essence" of disease and the dis-eased body/mind. Their motivations, meanwhile, have spanned from the starkly...

This seminar poses literary translation as an integral part of our work as comparatists. Recognizing the dearth of opportunities to discuss translation practice, this ACLA seminar will take a workshop format to allow participants to address specific translation-related questions that they have been facing in their own work. Rather than a formal presentation, each participant will receive focused feedback on their translation. We will interrogate how translation informs our critical practice as...

Lawrence Venuti’s work has long been concerned with ending instrumentalism : a model of translation which essentializes form, meaning, or effects as unchanging qualities contained in source texts that can be lost in translation. His latest, Contra Instrumentalism: A Translation Polemic , crystallizes the “hermeneutic model” with which he proposes to replace this “instrumentalist” one, arguing we conceive of “translation as an interpretive act that inevitably varies source-text form,...
