330 .. $a The scenes of Babel and Pentecost, the original confusion of tongues and their redemption
through translation, haunt German Romanticism and Idealism. This book begins by retracing
the ways in which the task of translation, so crucial to Romantic writing, is repeatedly
tied to prophecy, not in the sense of telling future events, but in the sense of speaking
in the place of another most often unbeknownst to the speaker herself. In prophetic
speech, the confusion of tongues repeats, each time anew, as language takes place
unpredictably in more than one voice and more than one tongue at once. Mendicino argues
that the relation between translation and prophecy drawn by German Romantic writers
fundamentally changes the way we must approach this so-called Age of Translation.
Whereas major studies of the period have taken as their point of departure the opposition
of the familiar and the foreign, Mendicino suggests that Romantic writing provokes
the questions: how could one read a language that is not one ? And what would such
a polyvocal, polyglot language, have to say about philology both for the Romantics,
whose translation projects are most intimately related to their philological preoccupations,
and for us ? In Prophecies of Language, these questions are pursued through readings
of major texts by G.W.F. Hegel, Wilhelm von Humboldt, Friedrich Schlegel, and Friedrich
Hölderlin. These readings show how, when one questions the presupposition of works
composed by individual authors in one tongue, these texts disclose more than a monoglot
reading yields, namely the plus of their linguistic plurality. From such a surplus,
each chapter goes on to advocate for a philology that, in and through an inclination
toward language, takes neither its unity nor its structure for granted but allows
itself to be most profoundly affected, addressed and afflicted by it
