Introduction
Forum on linguistic indifference
In literary studies, when is (indifference to) monolingualism a form of linguistic indifference
To whatever extent we believe that monolingualism exists in this world, and/or that it has an effect on literary work in various languages, it is important to ask whether such monolingualism(s) operate through brute suppression of other languages, through attentive control of them, or through half-hearted indifference to them. Although state monolingualist practices differ from place to place and will reliably express a mix of the various inclina…
No One Will Manifest Our Power on Our Behalf
No One Will Manifest Our Power on Our Behalf David Gramling To prepare for this short but appreciative response, I read four calls-toaction ranging across time, genre, and profession, in order to consider their relation to one another beyond their apparent kinship in form. Specifically, I read the 2023 PEN America Manifesto on Literary Translation, the 1969 American Center of PEN Manifesto on Translation, the 30,000-signatory Open Letter on Pausi…

Letting the System Completely Absorb Me Would Be So Much Easier
SchwarzRund is a Black Dominican queer femme feminist, active in intersectional education, Black German publishing and spoken word, empowerment around Fatness, Blackness, Queerness, and allyship, and critical media research. In this interview, SchwarzRund speaks about the German publishing world, the role of Black queer presses, the importance of translation and multilingualism in Black German literature, and her experiences in academia at a pred…
Back by Inscrutable Demand
This essay builds on previous work on Ören’s figure of Ali Itır from the point of view of multilingualism on the one hand and critiques of neoliberal literature on the other. I argue that Berlin Savignyplatz attempts to disavow and abandon an iconic sign in this character of Itır that has become pernicious for the author’s own narrative consciousness in the years between 1983 and 1993. On the basis of close readings of passages in both the German…
Building a new public idea about Multilingualism
Há quase 20 anos, após os ataques do 11 de setembro e durante sua presidência da Modern Language Association of America, a Latino-americanista Mary Louise Pratt escreveu e publicou um artigo intitulado “Construindo uma Nova Noção Pública sobre Linguagem”. Procurando por um Estados Unidos linguisticamente diverso no novo século XXI, ela questionou: “O que há de errado nesse cenário linguístico?”. A proposição 227 no Estado da Califórnia praticamen…
Germany in Transit
How does migration change a nation? Germany in Transit is the first sourcebook to illuminate the country's transition into a multiethnic society—from the arrival of the first guest workers in the mid-1950s to the most recent reforms in immigration and citizenship law. The book charts the highly contentious debates about migrant labor, human rights, multiculturalism, and globalization that have unfolded in Germany over the past fifty years—debates…
Supralingualism and the Translatability Industry
This article argues that a new form of globalizing multilingualism, which I call ‘supralingualism’, has been afoot since 1990, when the rise of algorithmic translation and cross-linguistic information retrieval (CLIR) practices set in in earnest in the supply-side logistics industries. A political landscape characterized by international consensus and compliance in the 1990s (as opposed to tariff wars and logistical nationalism) further buttresse…
Trans Voices from Turkey
Editors' note: Pelm Ulaş Dutlu is a trans activist who lives in Berlin and works as a boom operator. Since 2011, he has been involved in Turkey's first transman initiative, Voltrans, and has worked on the production of several documentaries, including Voltrans (dir. Özge Özgüner and Ulaş Dutlu, 2014) and #direnayol (dir. Rüzgâr Buşki, 2016). He occasionally writes columns for Kaosgl.org, an LGBTI news portal in Turkey. He is interested in literat…

Hysterical Postsecularism
European Others
Reviewed by: European Others: Queering Ethnicity in Postnational Europe David Gramling European Others: Queering Ethnicity in Postnational Europe. By Fatima El-Tayeb. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 2011. xlvi + 253 pages. $25.00. It is difficult to say whether this finely wrought monograph would have come into being as it did, were it not for a fiery 1999 essay by Bourdieu and Wacquant that opened with this rather strong claim: “Cult…
An Other Unspeakability
This article considers the Nazi concentration camps as sites of an epistemological collision between monolingualism and multilinguality—one that Holocaust studies has not come to full conceptual terms with. Gramling argues that this collision offers a primary, though undertheorized, matrix for rethinking the “incomprehensible” in Holocaust representations along a spectrum of genres from memoir and poetry to documentary history. In the wake of eme…
My Ardinghello
Wilhelm Heinse's 1787 painter-novel Ardinghello und die glückseligen Inseln is an unruly and precarious literary-historical artifact, balancing on the thresholds between text and paratext, archive and translation, excess and omission, Renaissance and Sturm und Drang. This article brings recent work on the queer materiality of epistolary exchange (Garlinger 2005 Garlinger, Patrick Paul. 2005. Confessions of the Letter Closet: Epistolary Fiction an…
On the Other Side of Monolingualism
The German filmmaker Fatih Akın has garnered acclaim over his fifteen‐year career for directing intricate narratives of migration, mobile cultures, multicultural communities, and transnational subjectivities. Akın's volatile and evolving cinematic approach to language and multilingualism, however, has attracted little critical attention—mirroring a scholarly predilection for “culture” over “language” in research on transnationalism since the 1990…
