Today, Arabic literature is no longer \"embargoed\" from Anglophone cultural spaces, as Edward Said once famously claimed that it was. As Arabic literary works are translated into English in ever-greater numbers, what alternative model of translation ethics can account for this literature's newfound readability in the hegemonic language of the world literary system? \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Worlding of Arabic Literature\u003c\/i\u003e argues that an ethical translation of a work of Arabic literature is one that transmits the literariness of the source text by engaging new populations of readers via a range of embodied and sensory effects. The book proposes that when translation is conceived of not as an exchange of semantic content but as a process of converting the affective forms of one language into those of another, previously unrecognized modalities of worldliness open up to the source text.\u003cbr\u003e In dialogue with a rich corpus of Arabic aesthetic and linguistic theory as well as contemporary scholarship in affect theory, translation theory, postcolonial theory, and world literature studies, this book offers a timely and provocative investigation of how an important literary tradition enters the world literary system.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Worlding of Arabic Literature: Language, Affect, and the Ethics of Translatability\u003ci\u003e is available from the publisher on an open-access basis.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNote on Translations and Transliterations\u003c\/i\u003e   ix\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/b\u003e: From Embargo to Boom: The Changing World of Arabic Literature in English   1\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e1 \u003c\/b\u003eSonics of \u003ci\u003eLafz\u003c\/i\u003e. : Translating Arabic Acoustics for Anglophone Ears   27\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e2 \u003c\/b\u003eVulgarity of \u003ci\u003eSajʿ\u003c\/i\u003e: The Scandalous Pleasures of Burton's\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Book of the Thousand Nights and a Night\u003c\/i\u003e   56\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e3 \u003c\/b\u003eEthics of the \u003ci\u003eMuthannā\u003c\/i\u003e: Caring for the Other in a Mother Tongue   83\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e4 \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eʿAjamī \u003c\/i\u003ePolitics and Aesthetic Experience: Translating the Body in Pain   113\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConclusion\u003c\/b\u003e: Beyond Untranslatability   140\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/i\u003e  157\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eNotes \u003c\/i\u003e  161\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eBibliography \u003c\/i\u003e  197\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eIndex \u003c\/i\u003e  219\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Fordham University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52619264426264,"sku":"9781531503222","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-worlding-of-arabic-literature-language-affect-and-the-ethics-of-translatability-paperback-softback-9781531503222","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
