- Title
Transforming the Singular: Thoughts on Translation and Collaboration.
- Authors
Hedeen, Katherine M.
- Abstract
The article discusses the role of collaboration in the field of translation and challenges the notion of individual authorship and originality. The author reflects on their own experiences as a translator and the need to justify collaborative work in a field that values single-authored works. They argue that translators are often marginalized and undervalued due to the perception that their work is imitative and derivative. The article calls for a redefinition of the artist and the recognition of collaboration as a transformative act that challenges hierarchical relationships and traditional notions of creativity.
