Translating a PhD summary inspired on Deleuze
This week, Lighthouse Texts completed a challenging translation of a PhD summary. The subject was literary–philosophical, and anyone who’s familiar with the work of Gilles Deleuze will understand why this was a somewhat arduous, if rewarding task. Deleuze is famous for the hidden hints in his language, his playful, probing, musical approach to philosophy and literature, The choice of words and the exact formulation of sentences are all-important in studies like these, and an exchange of ideas with my cline really was indispensible to achieve an outcome we were both completely satisfied with. The original was in English, based on English translations of Deleuze’s work, so in fact I had to look up the French originals to create a perfect sense of his terms. It was nice to realise once again how helpful it is to be at home in various languages!
