After briefly describing what "monolingual" currently means in scholarship and public discourse, and the pejorative effects this common use may have on non-elite, non-cosmopolitan populations, Gramling sets out, across four chapters, to discover a new conception of monolingualism. Along the way, he explores how writers-Arabic, 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. Moving from surprising and startlingly original case studies to brilliant reappraisals of widely-taught concepts in literary studies, The Invention of Monolingualism is a book to be reckoned with for students and scholars of literary theory, world literature, and the political and cultural implications of translation."--Bloomsbury Publishing."The first book in the humanities and social sciences to offer an extensive conceptual definition of monolingualism, based on literary, applied-linguistic, technological, and translational examples"--Bloomsbury Publishing.Education, BilingualInterdisciplinary approach in educationLanguage experience approach in educationLanguages, ModernScholarships, fellowships, etcLanguages, ModernStudy and teachingLiterary studies: generalElectronic books.Education, Bilingual.Interdisciplinary approach in education.Language experience approach in education.Languages, ModernScholarships, fellowships, etc.Languages, ModernStudy and teaching.418.0071Gramling David1976-1066402UtOrBLWUtOrBLWBOOK9910511686603321The invention of monolingualism2549125UNINA
