Translating War: Objectivity, ideology, and the ethics of testimony
This article explores how translation in times of war becomes an act of conscience as much as a linguistic task. Focusing on Gaza and Ukraine, it shows how translators navigate charged vocabularies. Through examples from Arabic and Western media and literary theory, the author reveals how translators balance objectivity with ethical responsibility, shaping how violence, legitimacy, and justice are remembered across languages.
