Descrição
Resumo:In this short essay, I discuss some aspects of the Amerindian Perspectivism, philosophical ethnography that gives a new insight on Indian thinking and to human thinking as a whole, especially the aspects related to translation activities, whether in language or culture. To think about translations from the Amerindian Perspectivism compels one who translates, or describes a culture, to review his/her idea of the Other and the way this Other thinks and expresses itself (whatever the language format), and this movement involves rethinking his/her own way of handling the language. It is from the Other’s thought and way of expression that the translation must begin, in a movement of becoming and symbiosis between the one who translates/describes and the one who is translated/described.
