Critical Evaluation
Value of the Information & Strength of the Argument
The video provides valuable insights into the role of translation in academic research, particularly in the humanities. The arguments presented by the speakers, especially Barbara Cassin, emphasize the importance of preserving linguistic diversity and the intellectual work involved in translation. The discussion on ‘intraduisibles’ (untranslatables) and the example of the ‘Dictionnaire des intraduisibles’ illustrate the complexity of cross-cultural communication. The argumentation is coherent and well-supported by references to the European Charter for Researchers and the work of the University of Strasbourg. The value lies in the concrete example of a prize designed to address the practical challenges of publishing in multiple languages.
