Dvajset let popotovanja po slovenski literaturi in kulturni sceni Buenos Airesa

Based on the interpretation of the Hegelian dialectic carried out by Slavoj Žižek in the book For They Know Not What They Do: Enjoyment as a Political Factor (1998), the case of a specific translation experience, told in the first person by the translator, is analyzed as a dialectical process through which the translator becomes involved in a process of cultural integration that, at the same time, can be interpreted as self-aliena­tion from the process of constructing the translator’s own identity. Both the translator’s first-person narrative and the reflections in relation to its testimony are relevant material for those that approach the task of tran­slation, as well as for researchers in intercultural administration, historians of migration processes and Slovenian communities abroad, and researchers in cultural history, psychology, semiotics, and philosophy.
