Borders, Nations, Translations
The Political Limits of Cultural Trans-Nationalism
Conference, 14 - 15 March 2008
Kunsthalle Exnergasse / WUK, Währinger Straße 59, 1090 Vienna
Home is where I understand and where I am understood, wrote Karl
Jaspers once. If this home today is our globalized world, then its
mother tongue cannot be but a translation, both linguistically and
culturally. And yet, what if we want this home to have a political
meaning, to be the place of freedom, justice and equality for all of
us? Should we form a nation of translation and claim its sovereignty
in an independent state? Who translates betrays: mother tongues,
borders and, above all, the old political dreams. The betrayers of
all the nations will never form a nation of their own. It is time for
a new challenge. Is it possible to articulate the emerging trans-
national culture of translation in non-cultural terms or, in other
words, are we able to translate a trans-national cultural space into
a common trans-cultural political action?
