In the wake of modernism studies’ global turn, this article considers the role of translation in fostering Iranian modernism. Focusing on the poetic translations of Bijan Elahi (1945-2010), one of Iran’s most significant poet-translators, we demonstrate how untranslatability becomes a point of departure for his experimental poetics. Elahi used premodern Sufi hermeneutics to develop his modernist theory of translation, whereby the alien core of the text is recognised at the centre of the original. As he engages the translated text from many angles, Elahi confounds polarities between innovation and imitation, and authorship and translation, that continue to bifurcate translation studies. In contributing to the globalization of modernist studies, this work adds to our understanding of modernism’s entanglement within premodern concepts of creation, as well as to modernism’s recreation of tradition from a non-European geography.

: This paper utilizes a relational approach to discusses practical and symbolic aspects of bureaucratic and political activities by rubber tappers from communities in extractive reserves in Alto Acre, in a frontier region of agricultural expansion into the Amazon. Documentary research, observations, and interviews with residents of communities in agroextractive settlement projects and the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve highlight tensions between the principles and perspectives of government and market actors and the rubber tappers, who selectively incorporate new elements to maintain their peasant condition into their habitus . After tracing the creation of the legal instrument that regulated logging within extractive reserves and political disputes for local power involving rubber tappers via the Workers' Party over the past three decades, we conclude that these processes were decisive in expanding the symbolic capital of these peasants and incorporated communitarianism into the public debate, modernizing the peasant condition and thus allowing them to remain part of the agrarian scenario in Alto Acre.
