De Gruyter Wieland / Übersetzen

Starting from the literary translations and reflections on the theory of translation of Christoph Martin Wieland, this book deals with different modalities and methods of translating and transmitting ‑ not only from language to language, but also between literary genres, epochs, knowledge formations and nations. Wieland is portrayed as an author and editor who devoted himself ‑ with experimental openness ‑ to a project of mediating and resolving dichotomies such as ‘cosmopolitism’ and ‘nation’.
