| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research investigates the notion of contemporaneous translation and tries to answer the following question: as an intermedial and intercultural practice, how can translation create a tension between the network and the “hyper-local,” or embodied environment so that the way we interact with the power of the network can help us directed towards greater involvement with the hyper-local rather than online? How can this allow a more porous understanding of community in order to support local resistances and support shared concerns although allegiances are apparently diverse? Under study were works and projects rooted in the hyper-local environment of historical and geographical specificities. The notion of contemporaneous translation positions it as a generative site where stories are both specific and shared in a number of media at once. This positions translation as an intermedial cultural practice that expedites understanding of change in terms of relationships
