Translation as Allegorical Metafiction: Marlene Nourbese Philip and Jamaica Kincaid
Eva C. Karpinski
Translation as Allegorical Metafiction: Marlene Nourbese Philip and Jamaica Kincaid
Eva C. Karpinski
The last chapter examines translation as allegorical metafiction in Marlene Nourbese Philip’s Looking for Livingstone and Jamaica Kincaid’s The Autobiography of My Mother. These postcolonial texts replace Eurocentric vertical models of translation as power imposition from above with horizontal models of creolization and creative borrowing.
