Translation

Article Abstract:

A study focuses on the conceptual intricacy of the term 'translation' and the difficulty in any attempt to define it with a view to historicizing the particular ways in which translation is understood and practiced in modern societies. It also discusses the politico-ethical significance of translation in reference to the fact that it is always complicit with the building, transforming or disrupting of power relations.

The possibility of translation

Article Abstract:

A study responds to the question of how translation is possible by retrieving two positions, one modern and one postmodern, which attack the ontology of translation. Additionally, it follows a Kantian strategy, beginning from a phenomenology of respect, to articulate the conditions that would justify the respect, which also act as interventions in modern and postmodern discourses.

Writing

Article Abstract:

Writing implies to works, which in turn entail a world of divergent but not therefore hostile or incompatible languages and traditions. The problem of writing, if narrowed for pragmatic convenience, and approached anthropologically, becomes a question of genealogy, that is, the chronology of ethno-linguistics from the Sumerians onwards.
