a communality that cannot speak: europe in translation

transversal web journal


What is at the core of the European crisis today? The trouble with the Euro,
as the ruling elites want us to believe? Wrong! The crisis is not about the
common currency, but about the current commonality. Europe not only lacks a
common language to collectively respond to the crisis, or a common public
space to mobilize joint democratic action against its disastrous social
consequences. It fails, above all, to address the very commonality of today's
capitalist crisis that now returns to Europe after having long been displaced
to other parts of the world, outsourced to those "others" who were not, and
still are not, supposed to enter a truly shared sphere of commonality. Hence,
when today, caught in crisis, the European modes of speaking and decision-
making fall apart into a cacophony of national languages and a chaos of
parallel political realities, they simultaneously keep silencing the very
commonality of the question of commonality.


It has been claimed that translation can offer a solution to the enigma of
linguistic and political commonalities. But what kind of translation?
Certainly not the one that simply serves the communication between allegedly
homolingual communities and thus reproduces the already existing regimes and
imaginaries. So how can we think of another kind of translation, one that
addresses a non-aggregate community of foreigners, migrants of all sorts, but
also all those who are becoming increasingly foreign to their own "native"
languages, cultures, societies and political institutions: a translation that
evokes a new mode of sociality still in search of its political
actualization?
