Bard Translation & Translatability Initiative, The Translation Symposium at Bard College (video conference), 24 April 2020

This was such a wonderful experience for which I am deeply grateful. I have never done a panel paper before! Here is my paper in case you are interested in reading it (it is not word-for-word what I said but is basically what I presented): “There is no native language: The perpetual question of “How would you say that?””

This made me feel so happy and enriched.

P.S. I am stodgily going with the classical rhetorical meaning of "beg the question". But I acknowledge that language morphs and expressions gain new meanings.

[I have a typo, at least one: schoolteacher is one word without a space.]

Love and Hatred

Hatred is the idea or action upon an idea such that the world should not accommodate the needs and desires of both another person and yourself. Love is giving up a part of your world for the sake of something better.
