[Winedale-l] John Berger on translation (as read by Tilda Swinton)

I know many of us have read John Berger's WAYS OF SEEING, and you may know that Berger just died. But whether you know Berger's work or not, you may be interested in what he writes here about translation, which is something I think of as a kind of performance. (The link is to a video of Swinton reading Berger.)

“A spoken language is a body, a living creature, whose physiognomy is verbal and whose visceral functions are linguistic.” —John Berger, 1926-2017
