English to Italian: One paragraph from a book I translated
Source text - English In this persistent centrality of the eye/I, the distance between the simple Renaissance apparatuses employed to delineate perspective and the present day digital video camera, both rendering reality immediate, as though without technical intervention ("an orchid in the land of technology", Walter Benjamin), is far briefer than the five centuries that separate them suggests. In is the on-going displacement of this "world picture", and its subject-centred humanism, it is the historical, political and poetical implications of this displacement, that suggests something profounder than simply the chronological passage of a historical epoch.
From: "Culture after Humanism", Iain Chambers, Routledge, London and New York, 2001, p.31.
Translation - Italian In questa persistente centralità dell’occh-ìo , la distanza tra le semplici strutture del Rinascimento utilizzate per delineare la prospettiva e le videocamere digitali del giorno d’oggi - entambe rendono la realtà immediata, come senza intervento tecnico (“una chimera nel paese della tecnica”, Benjamin 1955b) - è assai più breve di quanto i cinque secoli che li separano indurrebbero a ritenere. Sono lo spostamento in atto di questa “immagine del mondo”, il suo umanesimo incentrato sul soggetto, le implicazioni storiche, politiche e poetiche di questo spostamento, che suggeriscono qualcosa di ben più profondo del semplice passaggio cronologico di un’epoca storica.
Nota a piè di pagina: L’autore conia il composto “eye/I” sfruttando l’omofonia tra i termini inglesi “eye” (occhio) e “I” (io). Si è deciso di rendere in italiano questo gioco di parole con “occh-ìo”, scomponendo il vocabolo italiano “occhio” in modo da rendere riconoscibili entrambi i lessemi del neologismo inglese e spostando l’accento tonico, al fine di evitare che la lettura ad alta voce vanifichi l’effetto retorico (N.d.T.).
Da: "Sulla soglia del mondo", Iain Chambers, Meltemi, Roma, 2003, p.47. Traduzione di Nicola Nobili
