Description

Kristin Dickinson is Assistant Professor of German Studies at the University of Michigan.

"Kristin Dickinson sheds remarkable new light on myriad ways in which thoroughly entangled German and Turkish modernities compel us to rethink world literature, cultural contact, postcolonial theories of Orientalism, ethnic nationalisms, untranslatability, and much more. She effectively wields specific case histories of translation practice to reconceptualize modernity and translation as a cultural form. Her stunning results will speak to scholars in the humanities, social sciences, and history alike."-Leslie A. Adelson, author of Cosmic Miniatures and the Future Sense: Alexander Kluge's 21st-Century Literary Experiments in German Culture and Narrative Form "The strength of DisOrientations lies in Dickinson's erudition and linguistic astuteness, the historical extensivity of the research, and the high standard this book sets for Turkish-German studies of any kind, going forward. This is the kind of trenchant, rough-and-tumble literary analysis that goes far beyond the comforts of Eurocentric, theoreticist comparative literature, and its groundbreaking scope is a sight to behold."-David J. Gramling, author of The Invention of Monolingualism
