Translations of the Self: Moving between Objects, Memories, and Words: A Dialogue with Ruth Behar
No full textWith a central interest in translation as an inherent condition of subjects in contexts of migration, this article encourages a dialogue between ethnographic forms of expression and studies on translation. My exploration of the links between anthropology and translation, as well as their visual and poetic contours, comes through a conversation with Ruth Behar, a writer- anthropologist whose work is deeply rooted in several modes of translation, both through and beyond words, as she reflects upon diasporic identities. Through the critical reading of her observations, I hope to offer fresh insights into textual and visual possibilities of translation in anthropological writing, as well as provide an understanding of the complex relationship between translation, language, and the self- other nexus. More broadly, these reflections will contribute to a wider multimodal and multidisciplinary engagement of anthropology with social studies of identity, literary studies, comparative literature, poetic anthropology, visual semiotics, multisemiotic literacy, paratranslation, and other sciences of language. [translation, ethnographic writing, language, multimodality, Ruth Behar]RESUMENCon especial interés en la traducción como condición inherente de sujetos en contextos migratorios, este artÃculo provoca un diálogo entre formas de expresión etnográfica y estudios sobre traducción. Ese tránsito por lÃneas de conexión entre antropologÃa y traducción, sus contornos visuales y poéticos, se da mediante una conversación con Ruth Behar, escritora- antropóloga cuyo trabajo aparece vinculado a diversos modos de traducción a través y más allá de las palabras, en sus reflexiones sobre identidades diaspóricas. Espero que las observaciones derivadas de este diálogo contribuyan a continuar pensando en nuevas posibilidades textuales y visuales de traducción en la escritura antropológica, y en las complejas relaciones entre traducción, lengua(jes) y el other- self. De una forma más amplia, estas reflexiones pueden estrechar las relaciones multimodales y multidisciplinarias de la antropologÃa con los estudios sociales de identidad, estudios literarios, literatura comparada, antropologÃa poética, semiótica visual, prácticas de lenguaje multisemóticas (literacy), paratraducción y otras ciencias del lenguaje.
