Subversive Translation and Lexical Empathy: Pedagogies of Cortesia and Transnational Multilingual Poetics
No full textDrawing on George Steiner’s concept of ‘lexical cortesia’ or ‘tact of heart’, this chapter offers an example of innovative embodied and embedded critical practice in which transnational author Merlinda Bobis combines her own complex perspectives as a multilingual writer, reader, teacher, translator and scholar. When facing linguistic and cultural difference in a predominantly monolingual hegemonic context, as is the case of the Australian literary landscape and the university classroom, subversive strategies are especially necessary so as not to mute artistic expression in other languages. Monolingual here does not stand for the person speaking only one language, but for the monolithic sensibility that hears and cares for only one tongue

Dekolonyal na Elastisidad sa Salaysay ng Paglalakbay at na Naglalakbay ng Makatang Filipinong Transnasyonal: Mga Pakikipagsapalarang Malikhain at Kritikal/Decolonial Elasticity in the Filipino Transnational Poet's Travel and Traveling Story: Creative-Critical Journeys
No full textTinatalakay ng sanaysay na ito kung paanong itinutulak ng dekolonyalidad ang mga tulang paglalakbay at naglalakbay ng tatlong makatang Filipino na transnasyonal: sina Luisa A. Igloria, Bino A. Realuyo, at Merlinda Bobis. Susuriin ng pagtalakay na ito kung papaanong binibigyang-kritika at binubulabog ng mga tulang transnasyonal na ito ang paglalakbay na kolonyal at mga representasyon ng gayong paglalakbay, pati na ang kasaysayang kolonyal at ang mismong Imperyo; kung paanong tumatawid-hanggahan at dekolonyal na elastiko ang mga tula sa kanilang pagbanat sa panahon at espasyo upang matalunton at magambala ang tuluyan ng kolonyalidad; kung paano naipanunumbalik ng mga ito ang nawalang naisabuhay na buhay sa pagsasalaysay ng pakikipagsapalaran; at kung paanong gumagana rin ang mga ito bilang kritikal na diskurso.
This paper discusses how decoloniality drives the travel and traveling poems by three Filipino transnational poets: Luisa A. Igloria, Bino A. Realuyo and Merlinda Bobis. This discussion will unpack how these transnational poems critique and disorient colonial travel and travel representations, and colonial history and Empire; how the poems are border-crossing and decolonially elastic as they stretch time and space to chart and disrupt the continuum of coloniality; how they reinstate the disappeared lived life in the telling of the journey; and how they operate as critical discourse
