Translating Montreal : Episodes in the Life of a Divided City EPUB
by Sherry Simon
EPUB
Description
Translating Montreal follows the trajectories of adventurous cultural translators such as Malcolm Reid, F.R.
Scott, and A.M. Klein - pioneers of the 1950s and 1960s - Pierre Anctil, whose translations from Yiddish to French are emblematic of the dramatic reroutings now occurring across the Montreal landscape, and contemporary writer-translators such as Gail Scott, Erin Moure, Jacques Brault, Michel Garneau, Nicole Brossard, and Emile Ollivier.
Simon argues that translation is a dynamic and subtle tool for analysing cultural contact.
An original take on cultural relations in the city, Translating Montreal explores the emergence of the "new" Montrealer.
No longer "Franco-Quebecois," "Anglo-Quebecois," "immigrant," or "ethnic," the new Montrealer is a citizen of a mixed and cosmopolitan city.
