I finished today Michael Katz’ translation of Crime and Punishment

Oh but with Lacan you get into that impossible to translate area with his incredible wordplay.

I was revisiting this piece I had read a long time ago and was now surprised that these translators were accused of being too literal!

Hahahaha you made me laugh ❤️

How did you take that picture?

There’s a famous literary debate as to whether it’s preferable to translate literally and thus access the original more directly. Or translate what the author “meant” which means more interpretation from the translator.

I guess translations will always mean you have no way of knowing…

That’s so nice and kind ❤️

Translations are weird. Luckily, so many things get translated to English (vs Spanish).

It would be interesting to know what language received the most. Surely German or French.

I don’t think I understand the question.

The better a translation is, the more access you have to the book.

Following your lead: doing just that right now!

I’m just adding a few of the Obsisian vault folders into IA to access the same files.

Curious if you wrote about your workflow somewhere…

Do you use each for a different thing?

Ah yes. “Reader” apps and file systems.

How are they integrated? Didn’t know that!

Niiiice. Curious to know how you use it.

I “just write” on it. But partake in a couple of cool plugins.

None of the graph nonsense though.
