New translation exhibition opens in Marseille
“The language of Europe is translation”, opined Umberto Eco in a speech in 1993, perhaps before the rise of Global English and the nationalist populism sweeping through the continent. After Babel, Translate is a new exhibition which runs in Marseille until 20 March 2017 and examines the role of language, translation and misunderstanding in modern society.
