After briefly describing what "monolingual” means in scholarship and public discourse, and the pejorative effects this common use may have on non-elite and cosmopolitan populations alike, David Gramling sets out to discover a new conception of monolingualism. Along the way, he explores how writers—Turkish, Latin-American, German, and English-language—have in recent decades confronted monolingualism in their texts, and how they have critiqued the World Literature industry’s increasing hunger for “translatable” novels.Country/Region of Manufacture: USGenre: Language & ReferenceTopic: Literary CriticismRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
