Vakunta Indigenization of Language in the African Francophone Novel A New Literary Canon ndigenization of Language in the African Francophone Novel: A New Literary Canon discusses the question of indigenization in the African Francophone novel . Analyzing the prose narratives of Nazi Boni, Ahmadou Kourouma, and Patrice Nganang, this book contends that African literature written in European languages is primarily a creative translation process . Recourse to European languages as a medium of expressing African imagination, worldview, and cultures in fictional writing poses problems of intelligibility . Developed to express and reflect Western worldviews and sensibilities, European languages are employed by African writers to convey messages that seem to be at variance with European imagination . These writers find themselves writing in languages they wish to subvert through the technique of literary indigenization . The significance of this study resides in its raising awareness to the hurdles that literary creativity in a polyglossic context may present to readers and translators .

It is a contribution to current research aimed at unraveling the conundrum surrounding the language question in African Europhone fiction, particularly the cultural functions of translation in literature . Potential translation problems have to be addressed in order to make African literature written in European languages intelligible to global readership . With the advent of globalization, transcultural communication has become an activity of enormous importance to the international community . It is a subject of great interest to translators, linguists, language instructors, and literary theorists . PeteR w. vaKunta is a professor of French and English at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California . He has taught literature and literary theory courses at the University of Wisconsin-Madison . Vakunta has been a practicing translator/interpreter for over fifteen years . He is a novelist, storyteller, poet, and essayist . Cage (1912-1992); and Canadian pianist Glenn Gould (1932-1982) all experimented with the interconnections between words and music in various ways . Camus incorporated musical terms and structures in some of his writing; Beckett treated words in a musical manner in some of his plays; Cage experimented with silences and rests in his work and created innovative scores for vocal solos in the Song Books; and in his radio documentaries Gould created complex contrapuntal musical textures with a mélange of words and music . Words and Music delves into some of the specific ways these powerhouses of the twentieth century moved beyond the boundaries of tradition and helped to redefine our perception and understanding of words and music in contemporary society . This text offers a unique perspective to scholars, teachers, and students of literature, music, performance, radio, and film,
particularly researchers who focus on word and music studies, interdisciplinary studies, cultural studies, twentieth century literature, comparative literature, French literature, Irish literature, American literature, and contemporary and traditional classical music .

Drawing upon her interdisciplinary background, she has published in a variety of academic journals . Marian Womack / Jennifer Wood (eds) Beyond the Back Room his collection of essays examines current trends in scholarly research on Spanish author Carmen Martín Gaite (1925- 2000) . It concentrates on the least explored areas of Martín Gaite’s oeuvre, such as her collage artwork, the relationship between image and text in her work, and her close relationship with themes such as genre writing, the fairy tale, and textual/physical notions of space, as well as her personal theories on orality and narration . As we pass the tenth anniversary of her death, Martín Gaite continues to be an increasing focus of study, as scholars start to identify and comprehend the breadth and scope of her work . The essays in the volume complement previous studies of Martín Gaite’s major works from the 1960s and 1970s by focusing largely on her later novels, together with indepth analysis of the manuscripts and artistic materials that have been made available since her death .
