The SAGAR editorial collective invites contributions for its next issue on the practice and politics of translation. In the context of literature, translation has consistently posed critical challenges to the processes of writing and representation. It has also far exceeded its literary dimensions and increasingly stands as a metaphor for a range of disciplinary practices. With this in mind, we solicit translations, research papers, critical commentaries, and book reviews that address, but are not limited to, the following themes:
• When and how do acts of translation also become acts of politics?
• How can underrepresented regional literature add new dimensions to existing subaltern politics and perspectives?
• How do disciplines, such as history, anthropology and cultural studies among others, confront the problem of interpretation as an act of translation?
