*Borders, Nations, Translations**
**The Political Limits of Cultural Trans-Nationalism**
Conference, 14 - 15 March 2008
Kunsthalle Exnergasse / WUK, Währinger Straße 59, 1090 Vienna*
Home is where I understand and where I am understood, wrote Karl Jaspers
once. If this home today is our globalized world, then its mother tongue
cannot be but a translation, both linguistically and culturally. And
yet, what if we want this home to have a political meaning, to be the
place of freedom, justice and equality for all of us? Should we form a
nation of translation and claim its sovereignty in an independent state?
Who translates betrays: mother tongues, borders and, above all, the old
political dreams. The betrayers of all the nations will never form a
nation of their own. It is time for a new challenge. Is it possible to
articulate the emerging trans-national culture of translation in
non-cultural terms or, in other words, are we able to translate a
trans-national cultural space into a common trans-cultural political action?
