Towards a Cosmovision Turn – Challenging Basic Translation Theory
This project shows how the cosmovision factor has been and continues to be largely neglected in translation studies. It examines how Eugene Nida’s theories of translation were shaped by his involvement in the missionary Summer Institute of Linguistics and how current programs of study at Western institutions can take into account cosmovision-related characteristics of indigenous translators and interpreters.

„The idea behind the mural proposes the integration of shadows through recognition, which is known as the process of individuation according to Carl Jung. These are the inner demons that we keep inside and that grow larger from childhood if they are not recognized. That is why the snake and the jaguar look playful with their big eyes, representing that childishness.
The image has Amazonian influence because I love jaguars and snakes, and my paternal family is from the Amazon rainforest.“
