Bryla, Martyna Marika 2025-01-24T11:07:38Z 2025-01-24T11:07:38Z 2020 Bryla, Martyna. "Between Languages and Cultures: Gary Shteyngart as a Global Author." Estudios interdisciplinares en traducción literaria y literatura comparada, edited by Giovanni Caprara and Victoria García Alarcón, Comares, 2020, pp: 341-350. https://hdl.handle.net/10630/36914 In this essay, I approach Shteyngart as a writer who has forged a voice of his own and built a successful literary career between cultures and languages. To do so, I will use the concept of limen as a fertile space where diverse cultural and linguistic references collide and collude, through the processes of creative juxtaposition, negotiation, and translation, to produce a new literary quality marked by transcultural and translingual imagination and thus attuned to the interconnectedness of today’s globalized world. Rather than think of Shteyngart as an ethnic author, I propose to interpret his writing and the public persona he constructed in the course of his literary career in global terms which, in a broader perspective, speak to the exciting yet precarious realities of liquid modernity (Bauman, 2000). eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ open access Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Shteyngart, Gary - Crítica e interpretación Between Languages and Cultures: Gary Shteyngart as a Global Author. book part
