Dreaming the World in Translation: A Conversation with Hélène Cardona in World Literature Today
Dreaming the World in Translation: A Conversation with Hélène Cardona. Interview by Alison Williams in World Literature Today:
https://www.worldliteraturetoday.org/...
"When you understand and know other cultures, you don’t fear the other. There is no other. We should be shepherds of the Earth."
"Translation is necessary to know oneself—to know where one comes from. Every language is a key into the psyche of its people."
"Through translation, we bring cultures together, we create bridges. Becoming familiar with another culture transcends otherness. We are many and diverse."
