Beskrivning

Witold Gombrowicz (1904-1969) was born and lived in Poland for the first half of his life but spent twenty-four years as an émigré in Argentina before returning to Europe to live in West Berlin and finally Vence, France. His works have always been of interest to those studying Polish or Argentinean or Latin American literature, but in recent years the trend toward a transnational perspective in scholarship has brought his work to increasing prominence. Indeed, the complicated web of transnational contact zones where Polish, Argentinean, French and German cultures intersect to influence his work is now seen as the appropriate lens through which his creativity ought to be examined.This volume contributes to the transnational interpretation of Gombrowicz by bringing together a distinguished group of North American, Latin American, and European scholars to offer new analyses in three distinct themes of study that have not as yet been greatly explored — Translation, Affect and Politics. How does one translate not only Gombrowicz’s words into various languages, but the often cultural-laden meaning and the particular style and tone of his writing? What is it that passes between author and reader that causes an affect? How did Gombrowicz’s negotiation of the turbulent political worlds of Poland and Argentina shape his writing? The three divisions of this collection address these questions from multiple perspectives, thereby adding significantly to little known aspects of his work.

Recensioner i media

Winner of the 2021 Anna M. Cienciala Award (Polish Institute of Arts and Sciences of America) for best edited book in Polish Studies"The volume Gombrowicz in Transnational Context, edited by Silvia G. Dapía, is one of the most valuable pieces of scholarly work on Witold Gombrowicz (1904–1969) published in recent years… Gombrowicz in Transnational Context truly contributes not only to contemporary "gombrowiczology," but also to translation and translator studies and the reflection on the "affective turn" in the humanities—and thus is worthy of broader attention."-Aleksandra Konarzewska, University of Tübingen, Slavic Review
