Concepts
Bernd Herzogenrath
The dominance of English in the worlds of scholarship, culture, and commerce has many benefits, enabling people from all over the world to exchange ideas and communicate with one another. This book foregrounds that English monolingualism reduces not only our linguistic resources but our conceptual ones as well. If concepts are embedded in languages, then English monolingualism reduces the store of concepts available to us. This book aims to expand that store of concepts.
concepts: a travelogue presents concepts drawn from the cultures of 4 continents and 26 different languages. Each contributor explores ideas that have been key to thinking in their language - for example, about sound and silence, voice and image, living and thinking, self and world - while simultaneously addressing the issue of translation. As a result, each chapter shows how translation is, itself, a way of invention, how it is not just a rendering of concepts in one system in the terms of another, but a way of generating new (not novel) ideas.
