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. 330 $a"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. 606 $aEducation, Bilingual 606 $aInterdisciplinary approach in education 606 $aLanguage experience approach in education 606 $aLanguages, Modern$xScholarships, fellowships, etc 606 $aLanguages, Modern$xStudy and teaching 606 $2Literary studies: general 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducation, Bilingual. 615 0$aInterdisciplinary approach in education. 615 0$aLanguage experience approach in education. 615 0$aLanguages, Modern$xScholarships, fellowships, etc. 615 0$aLanguages, Modern$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a418.0071 700 $aGramling$b David$f1976-$01066402 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511686603321 996 $aThe invention of monolingualism$92549125 997 $aUNINA
