<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">This seminar addresses three different orientations of translation: modernity, coloniality and decoloniality. To raise the question of translation requires us to address issues of power across the colonial difference:
who translates, what is translated and for what, who holds the space of translation? The question of translation takes a different shape according to the type of mediation. Translation as modernity functions to affirm the supremacy of the dominant locus of
enunciation. Translation as coloniality is a movement of incorporation as erasure of other worlds of meaning, of other forms of relating to the real. Both, translation as modernity and as coloniality work in tandem to enforce modernity as the total horizon
of intelligibility, as the monopoly of the real. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#002060">Conversely, translation as decoloniality expresses ways in which the modern/colonial divide can be overcome. Translation as decoloniality is engaged with the generation of intercultural encounters towards pluriversal
forms of understanding, sensing and doing. A condition for intercultural translation is to recognize each-others positionality in relation to the intersecting axes of oppression that structure the colonial divide. To practice translation decoloniality is to
practice a form of listening that enables us to become grounded and legible in relation to the plurality of each-other's worlds.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:#002060">Rolando Vázquez</span></b><span style="color:#002060"> contributes to the movement of decolonial aesthesis and thought. He is associate professor of sociology at University College Roosevelt, affiliated to
the research institute for Cultural Inquiry (ICON) and the Gender Studies Department of the University of Utrecht. With Walter Mignolo he has coordinated for eight Years the Middelburg Decolonial Summer School. In 2016 with Gloria Wekker et. al. he wrote the
report of the Diversity Commission of the University of Amsterdam. In 2017 he curated the workshop: 'Staging the End of the Contemporary' for MaerzMusik at the Berliner Festspiele. His work seeks to transgress the dominion of contemporaneity, heteronormativity
and modernity/coloniality. Developing the question of precedence and relational temporalities he seeks to contribute to decolonize institutions, epistemologies, aesthetics and subjectivities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
