A Zombie Theory of Translation: Or, What is a 'Revenant' Translation? - Elements in Translation and Interpreting
Robinson, Douglas (Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen)
In 'Des Tours de Babel' Jacques Derrida deconstructs Benjamin's essay, but in 'What is a 'Relevant' Translation?' he argues that Benjamin sees the source text dying and returning to life as the translation. This Element theorizes the six million Holocaust Shylock-zombies but explores that theme narratively.
