Translation is often depicted as a safeguard of the egalitarian ideals multilingualism purportedly guarantees, as an activity of prime importance in the development of healthy multicultural and diverse societies. However, in the prevailing globalized, asymmetrically multicultural order, certain long-standing legal and institutional translation practices may be contributing, albeit involuntarily, to engendering or perpetuating unequal relations of hegemony and subordination between dominant cultures and powers, and minoritized languages and identities. In this seminar, I will identify a number of factors which accentuate translation’s potential proclivity to exercise symbolic violence in our day and age, and, drawing on the concept of recognition, I will present a number of examples illustrating alternative translational approaches aligned with the ideals of cultural pluralism.
