History has shown that a decline of translation activities that foster cross-cultural exchange and renovation can easily lead to intellectual and artistic stagnation. Perhaps we are in danger of moving toward such a point. In moments of crisis it is natural to retreat to that which was before, that which apparently has worked before and therefore might constitute a pillar for the future.
Uncertainty in cultural, political, and ethical orientation reduces receptivity to multicultural perspectives. And it is exactly in those moments of external and internal insecurity that taking in foreign perspectives can contribute to the crystalization of those values and creative impulses that build the backbone of a nation and its language as a way of seeing.
