The Journal of Literary Multilingualism: Translating the Caribbean
Due Date: 04-01-2025
The Journal of Literary Multilingualism explores texts written in nonnative languages, in a mix of languages, and in alternating languages. It examines a wide range of literary practices from around the globe broadly defined by multilingual and multicultural situations.
This volume explores the different ways in which heterolingual Caribbean literary works have been translated around the world and the critical debates these translations have generated. The aim is to create an interdisciplinary and comparative platform for scholars of Caribbean literatures, translators, linguists, and creative writers working in different languages and in different literary and publishing contexts to discuss the challenges and the opportunities that the translation of Caribbean literary works presents today, paying special attention to the heterolingual and translational nature of these works.
