“Papuan existence is being destroyed simultaneously at the physical, political, metaphysical, and cosmological levels — and must be understood as a unified system of extinction.” This is the essence of Psycho‑Cosmocide.”
― Yamin Kogoya, PAPUAN TRAGEDY: 300 Warnings From The Edge Of Extinction

“If we expect translation to reproduce the totality of the semantics and affective uses of the original text, then we believe that translation must be loyal to the seminal language system, rather than letting the discourse travel and undertake the adventure of discovering - or creating - a new set of meaning according to the politics of the translation itself. Rigid loyalty to the original in the translated version was, in effect, the intentionality of the translation of the doctrines and precepts that constituted the colonial discourse.”
― Hector Dominguez Ruvalcaba, Translating the Queer: Body Politics and Transnational Conversations
