The Act Of Translation As A Pedagogical Tool, A Political Act, And Ultimately A Gesture Of Care In These Tense Cultural Times.Based On Practical Experiments, Unlearning With Translation Posits The Act Of Translation As A Pedagogical Tool, A Political Act, And Ultimately A Gesture Of Care In These Tense Cultural Times. Written By French Curator, Writer, Editor, And SelfTaught Translatress Virginie Bobin, The Essay Revisits A Series Of Workshops, Exhibitions, And Other Collective Activities That Took Translation As Both Subject And Method To Unsettle Entrenched Conceptions Of Language, Identity, And Belonging. In Particular, The Ambiguous Notion Of Untranslatability Is Used As A Lens Through Which To Examine The Power Relations At Play In Those Institutional, Economic, And Political Contexts Inhabited By Art Workers. Alongside Collaborations With Artists Including Mercedes Azpilicueta, Serena Lee, And Mounira Al Solh, BobinS Reflections Are Grounded In Her Experience CoFounding And Facilitating The Editorial And Curatorial Platform Qalqalah , Which Relies On Translation As A Tool For The Production And Publication Of Situated Knowledge In Three LanguagesFrench, Arabic, And English. Informed By Feminist Genealogies And Methodologies Throughout, The Book Maintains That Collective Labor And Relations Are Key Aspects Of Any Critical Practice, As Exemplified In The Concluding Correspondence With Andrea Ancira.
