Avenues of Translation

Sinopsis del Libro

Winner of the 2020 SAMLA Studies Book Award — Edited Collection Cities both near and far communicate in a variety of ways. Travel between, through, and among urban centers initiates contact, and cities themselves are sites of ever-changing cultural and historical encounters. Predictable and surprising challenges and opportunities arise when city borders are crossed, voices meet, and artistic traditions find their counterparts. Using the Latin word for “translation,” translatio, or “to carry across,” as a point of departure, Avenues of Translation explores how translation perpetuates, diversifies, deepens, and expands the literary production of cities in their greater cultural context, and how translation shapes an understanding of and access to a city's past and present literary and cultural practices. Thinking about translation and the city is a way to tell the backstories of the cities, texts, and authors that are united by acts of translation. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

Anatomía de una penumbra

A detailed study that examines the architecture of Fernando Martínez Sanabria (b.

The author examines this commercial project from its initial design process and proposes an analytical view of the building through its anatomical construction systems of light and semi-darkness developed by architect Martínez Sanabria.

100 preguntas que nos hemos hecho sobre Puerto Rico en la Nueva Escuela de Arquitectura de la Universidad Politécnica de Puerto Rico

An architecture school celebrates its 10th anniversary by publishing representative student work, but concerned with how readers often fail to acknowledge and ultimately disregard the relevance of student ideas, reducing them to mere image-making. Instead of listing projects by type or name, it was decided they would be presented in question format (bilingually), underlining the importance of inquiry over image. Question entries numbered from 1 to 100 (grouped by theme) predetermined the books format. Elegance (it is about architecture) and informality (but also about students) had to be...
