Borders, Nations,
Translations Home is where I understand and
where I am understood, wrote
Karl Jaspers once. If this home today is our globalized world, then its
mother
tongue cannot be but a translation, both linguistically and culturally.
And
yet, what if we want this home to have a political meaning, to be the
place of
freedom, justice and equality for all of us? Should we form a nation of
translation and claim its sovereignty in an independent state? Who
translates
betrays: mother tongues, borders and, above all, the old political
dreams. The
betrayers of all the nations will never form a nation of their own. It
is time
for a new challenge. Is it possible to articulate the emerging
trans-national
culture of translation in non-cultural terms or, in other words, are we
able to
translate a trans-national cultural space into a common trans-cultural
political action? Boris Buden, Encarnación Gutiérrez Rodriguez,
