So I know that an English-language translation of Beatriz Sarlo's Una modernidad periférica exists. I've assigned it in my graduate classes before, I'm pretty certain. It's just that I always tell them to read it in the original if they can and they always can. But this semester I have a student who can't read Spanish taking my seminar, and she told me that she couldn't find a translation anywhere, and you know, I spent some time this evening looking for one, and I can't find it either. So - do you know if it ever was translated? Or have I just been smoking crack again?

I have personally never seen this work in either French or English. I have read about the work in both languages. Did you try amazon.com?

[lolaraincoat.livejournal.com]

yeah. also google. *sigh*

[tournevis.livejournal.com]

Darn.

It isn't in WorldCat (LC database), either, dammit. Are you sure that a chapter hasn't been translated and that's what you're remembering?

[lolaraincoat.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, WorldCat was the first third or fourth place I looked. I might never have seen it in English, since my copy is in Spanish, but I know I haven't seen it in chapter or article form in English.

That doesn't sound like crack. You've probably been smoking opium.

[lolaraincoat.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that must be it.

Hey, what's your preferred email address these days? I need to ask you about a project I'm working on that I would like to get you embroiled with ...

[twotoedsloth.livejournal.com]

Ooo... embroiled....you can use the same as always, or I will send you the new one. Either one is good.

BTW, I got the book covers! Thanks for the exuberant praise!

[lolaraincoat.livejournal.com]

Whoo! Book covers! Do they look good? Send me the new email, wouldja?

And de nada, really. It's a great book.
