Understanding Benjamin’s and Derrida’s concept of ‘afterlife’ as ‘overliving’, this book proposes that reading Benjamin’s and Derrida’s writings on translation in terms of their wider thought on language and history suggests that textuality itself possesses a ‘messianic’ quality. Developing this idea in relation to the many rewritings and translations of Don Quijote, particularly the multiple rewritings by Jorge Luis Borges, Edmund Chapman asserts that texts consist of a structure of potential for endless translation that continually promises the overcoming of language, history and textuality itself. .Literature—TranslationsComparative literatureLiterature   PostmodernismMotion picturesTranslation and interpretationTranslation Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/828000Comparative Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/811000Postcolonial/World Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/838000Postmodern Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E45000Adaptation Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/413180Translationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/N47000Literature—Translations.Comparative literature.Literature   .Postmodernism.Motion pictures.Translation and interpretation.Translation Studies.Comparative Literature.Postcolonial/World Literature.Postmodern Philosophy.Adaptation Studies.Translation.418.02Chapman Edmundauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1228145MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484888403321The Afterlife of Texts in Translation2851152UNINA
