Nothing Human (Invited Paper For The Special Volume “Humanism, Cosmopolitanism, And The Ethics Of Translation"), C. C. Wharram Oct 2014

Nothing Human (Invited Paper For The Special Volume “Humanism, Cosmopolitanism, And The Ethics Of Translation"), C. C. Wharram

Charles C. Wharram

In this essay C. C. Wharram argues that Terence's concept of translation as a form of “contamination” anticipates recent developments in philosophy, ecology, and translation studies.

Melissa A. Ames
