conférence / Luca Illetterati, Elena Nardelli, Università di Padova

Can philosophy do without translation? How can philosophy question translation and from the perspective of translation? How does translation intervene in the relationship between philosophical research and its history? What does translation tell us about language in general and on the specificity of philosophical language? What effects of subjectivity does translation produce? What images of otherness does translation return to us? And what are the resources of a philosophical practice that coincide with translation?
In this workshop, we will propose a conceptual framework and specific research lines for the philosophy of translation. Furthermore, we will present the newborn Research Center for the Philosophy of Translation (PHILTRA) based at the University of Padova and discuss further forms of partnership with the CRPM.
