Notes

¹Berman lists a series of twelve “deforming tendencies,” among them clarification, expansion, qualitative impoverishment, and the destruction of rhythms and of underlying networks of signification (244).

²Some of these ideas appeared, in rather different form, in a “Translation Note” written for Necessary Fiction (Gladhart).

³This is an issue highlighted by Emily Apter in Against World Literature: On the Politics of Untranslatability.
