Collective, Collage, And Translative Authorship: Writing To And From Multilingual Europe, Jamie H. Trnka
Collective, Collage, And Translative Authorship: Writing To And From Multilingual Europe, Jamie H. Trnka
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
Letters to Europe (2011) is a collectively authored, transnational literary engagement with Europe as an idea, a place, and a set of socio-political relationships. A print publication and performance, the ambivalent generic status of the Brussels-based project raises productive questions about how collective translation, transnational authorship, and multimedial performance strategies combine to advance new modes of aesthetic and political representation for subjects in transit in twenty-first century Europe. I argue for attention to multilingual and multimedial translations as sites of creative self-documentation on the part of mobile subjects as a critical counterpoint to state-sanctioned forms of documentality (Favorini). To that …
Translating Quechua Multilingualism And European Multilingual Intertextuality In The Short Stories Of Edgardo Rivera Martínez, Amy Olen
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
The impulse toward multilingual writing has arisen as a prominent trend in contemporary women’s writing. Criticism and notions of the literary have to respond to, among other things, the fact that "we live in a world where a significant portion of the population is at least partially bi or multilingual" (Camboni 34). To be responsive to the "increasing multilingualism of writers necessitates new strategies for reading the polyvocality of texts" (Eagleton and Friedman 3). This paper considers the ways multilingual writing creates, “small scale modes of listening” (Maguire xix) that tune the reader to languages, identities, and cultures under erasure. …
