You Only Get What You Give? A New Radical Durkheimian Political Economy of Sacrifice

Çeviri, genel olarak, bir dilde yazılan metinlerin hedef bir dile dönüştürülmesi olarak tanımlanabilirse de özünde sadece metinlerin değil kültürün dönüştürülmesidir. Bu noktada çeviri yerine kültürel çeviriden bahsetmek daha doğru olacaktır. Kültürel çeviri terimini, ilk kez, sosyal antropolog Edward E. Evans Pritchard’ın çevresindeki antropologlar, iki tarafın da karşısındakinin davranışlarını anlamlandırmaya çalıştığı kültürel karşılaşmalar için tercih etmişlerdir (Biedelman, 1971’den akt., Burke, 2012, s. 4). Çeviri metinler, kimi zaman dünya tarihini derinden etkilemiştir; örneğin Antik Yunanca metinlerin Arapçaya aktarılması ve sonrasında Arapçadan Avrupa dillerine geçmesi veyahut Reform hareketiyle birlikte İncil’in yerel dillere çevrilmesi gibi dünya tarihine yön veren çeviri hareketlerinden bahsedilebilmektedir. Bir başka deyişle çeviri, bir kültürün bir diğer kültüre çevrilmesi gücüne sahiptir.
