Swami Vivekananda
With historical-critical analysis and dialogical even-handedness, the essays of this book re-assess the life and legacy of Swami Vivekananda, forged at a time of colonial suppression, from the vantage point of socially-engaged religion at a time of global dislocations and international inequities. Due to the complexity of Vivekananda as a historical figure on the cusp of late modernity with its vast transformations, few works offer a contemporary, multi-vocal, nuanced, academic examination of his liberative vision and legacy in the way that this volume does. It brings together North American, European, British, and Indian scholars associated with a broad array of humanistic disciplines towards critical-constructive, contextually-sensitive reflections on one of the most important thinkers and theologians of the modern era.

Literary Translation, Language and Thought
This book looks at the intersection where languages “meet”, where literary studies connect with other domains of knowledge such as translation, modern linguistics, philosophy of language, the teaching of languages, and cultural studies. Authors speak of their experiences in literary translation and discuss texts translated from and into languages such as ancient Hebrew and Greek, German, English, French, Polish, Punjabi, Paite, Urdu, and Hindi. They address questions such asthe following: Is it enough for a translator to be fluent in two languages? Should translators not also know how to read a literary text with its stylistic, cultural, formal, and existential nuances? How far can translators go with their creative ideas and where do they draw a line? Do the hierarchies of languages impact translations? The volume will be indispensable for scholars and researchers of translation studies, literature, philosophy, German Studies, Francophone Studies, and English Studies. It will also appeal to general readers interested in literary translation.
