VIII. Conclusions
Chapter of: Prismatic Jane Eyre: Close-Reading a World Novel Across Languages(pp. 776–779)
Some of the conclusions presented are: that reading in world-literary contexts means reading heterolingually; that reading heterolingually entails reading collaboratively; that a world work consists of the originary text and all its translations together; that all translation invites a littoral reading; and that all translation is prismatic translation.
