{"product_id":"translating-montreal-9780773531086","title":"Translating Montreal","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe divided Montreal of the 1960s is very different from today's cosmopolitan, hybrid city. Taking the perspective of a walker moving through a fluid landscape of neighbourhoods and eras, Sherry Simon experiences Montreal as a voyage across languages. Sketching out literary passages from the then of the colonial city to the now of the cosmopolitan Montreal, she traces a history of crossings and intersections around the familiar sites and symbols of the city - the mythical boulevard Saint-Laurent, Mile End, the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, Mont-Royal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTranslating Montreal\u003c\/i\u003e follows the trajectories of adventurous cultural translators such as Malcolm Reid, F.R. Scott, and A.M. Klein - pioneers of the 1950s and 1960s - Pierre Anctil, whose translations from Yiddish to French are emblematic of the dramatic reroutings now occurring across the Montreal landscape, and contemporary writer-translators such as Gail Scott, Erin Mouré, Jacques Brault, Michel Garneau, Nicole Brossard, and Emile Ollivier. Simon argues that translation is a dynamic and subtle tool for analysing cultural contact. An original take on cultural relations in the city, \u003ci\u003eTranslating Montreal \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the emergence of the \"new\" Montrealer. No longer \"Franco-Québécois,\" \"Anglo-Québécois,\"  \"immigrant,\" or \"ethnic,\" the new Montrealer is a citizen of a mixed and cosmopolitan city.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sherry Simon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48828048081147,"sku":"9780773531086","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_c857432b-633f-46e5-8ba4-83cb6ccb69f1.jpg?v=1777664316","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/translating-montreal-9780773531086","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
