Translation and Repetition: Rewriting (Un)original Literature offers a new
and original perspective in translation studies by considering creative repetition from
the perspective of the translator. This is done by analyzing so-called “unoriginal
literature” and thus expanding the definition of translation., In Western thought, repetition has long been regarded as something negative, as
a kind of cliché, stereotype, or automatism that is the opposite of creation. On the
other hand, in the eyes of many contemporary philosophers from Wittgenstein and
Derrida to Deleuze and Guattari, repetition is more about difference. It involves
rewriting stories initially told in other contexts so that they acquire a different
perspective. In this sense, repeating is often a political act. Repetition is a creative
impulse for the making of what is new. Repetition as iteration is understood in this
book as an action that recognizes the creative and critical potential of copying. The author analyzes how our time understands originality and authorship
differently from past eras, and how the new philosophical ways of approaching
repetition imply a new way of understanding the concept of originality and
authorship. Deconstruction of these notions also implies subverting the traditional
ways of approaching translation. This is vital reading for all courses on literary
translation, comparative literature, and literature in translation within translation
studies and literature.
