Abstract

We explore the experience of communication, appropriation and creation of Community Economies thought and practice resulting from language and cultural translation. First, we address epistemological and methodological questions of translation of a thought that is structured from epistemological control and, as a consequence, from an ontological construction (although not necessarily desired in the case of Gibson-Graham) generated by the domain of the academic literature in the English language. Secondly, we discuss how and what possibilities of translation, appropriation and creation arise in the interface of multiple translations and situated experiences.
