Abstract

This paper is an attempt to shed light on two prominent concepts: cultural translation and cultural mobility. This paper is an attempt to negotiate the definitions provided for cultural translation and bridge the latter with cultural mobility, as I believe that there is a relationship of intertwinement and interrelation between the two. This paper is also an attempt to trace some of the manifestations of the two concepts in literature, philosophy, and theatricality. I will follow an approach of negotiation and negation of the sum provided on the two problematic concepts.
