An Epistemology of Tension
Zrinka Stahuljak
‘Epistemology of Tension’ is a comparative study the use metaphor ‘translation’ in Middle Ages and contemporary culture. Due to its metaphorical application, term has become wide-ranging central extending well beyond meaning linguistic translation. However, I argue that, while metaphors translation connote translatability historical, cultural, political contents contexts, at same time they obscure relations power that take place cultural draw parallel with medieval topos, where, although similar range centrality position, addresses issue quite differently. An analysis ‘translatio’ reveals occurs as an epistemology tension between knowledge. By contrast, metaphorization global culture creates dominant, language which presents itself neutral because all-inclusive. Subsequently, it presumably all-inclusive, this threatens homogenous and, ultimately, hegemonic, undemocratic discourse.
