Abstract

It is believed that metaphor can lead to the emergence of a new intricate understanding of a phenomenon which otherwise would be hard or even impossible to formulate. This might explain why we have many metaphors for the perplex concept of translation. This paper attempts to offer an alternative perspective in which the mechanism of translation is compared with that of memory. By exploring how and why memory brings us to the past, we might be able to better understand what actually happens in translation.
