Every
work of art is an act of translation (representation, appropriation,
transmutation, expression). Whether done consciously or unconsciously,
all artists pull from the cultural phenomena around them, borrowing,
blending, and bleeding the residue into new creative responses. In this
way, it can be said that writing is an act of swapping spit—every
author is in intimate conversation with other artists of various métiers
and their works, past, present, and future.
As
Jorge Luis Borges writes, a book (or any work of art) “is not an
isolated entity: it is a narration, an axis of innumerable narrations.” When
cultural phenomena is translated, transferred, re-represented, or remembered,
how are these axes mediated by their new form? Here, we look at translation,
not only as a replacement of words from one language to the next, but
as a larger, more complex system of interconnected representations and
narratives.
