Translations

Recently, in fact, as a contribution to an essay collection that isn’t out yet, I ended up writing about how my deepest education has been through translation. I’ve learned a lot from other people’s translations, but I learned much more from my own. Through these different acts of translation, I learned a lot of things I feel I should have known all along. In other words, if I’ve gone into a project not knowing everything I wish I’d known, or if I fail to resist cultural imperalism or colonization or whatever it is that I’m supposed to resist, it still matters to try. It still matters to learn. And a text can present you with a lot of possibilities, so long as you’re not going into translation trying or expecting to be seen as good.
