Experimental Translation: Globetranslation
About
In this talk and workshop, I would like to practice with participants a procedure that did not find its way into the handbook: globetranslation. Globetranslation consists in selecting a single word, translating that word into as many languages as possible,searching for those translated words in unilingual dictionaries in that word’s own language and then using machine translation to translate those definitions back into English. This procedure adopts the conceptual writing technique of appropriation (Acker,
Place, Dworkin, Goldsmith) as a way of doing terminological research across languages. Time and desire permitting, this procedure may even take us further, to individual and collective poetic creation and discussions about the politics of appropriation and
language learning.
