本文从翻译的角度出发，对现代性边缘的运动进行反思。它特别关注翻译作为擦除的问题，也就是说，作为一种机制，现代性通过这种机制扩展和划分其适当的位置，它的领土。翻译的这种操作使一切不符合现代性认识领域的“易读性参数”的东西都变得不可见。现代性的认识领域既指明了现代性话语繁荣的领域，也指明了它们的可理解性视界。翻译使我们看到了认知的边界，在那里，一种可见性的政治在擦除与可见性、蔑视与承认之间起着作用。承认现代性认识领域的政治内容，就是承认全球社会不平等问题不能简单地作为不完整的现代性的后果来解决。它是要承认知识是现代/殖民压迫和掠夺制度的一部分。认识论的领域实践是这样的，所有在其领域之外的东西都是不可见的，被排除在真实的之外，并被积极地隐藏起来，甚至没有名字。在边界上，它们是排斥的运动，但也是融合的运动;在那里，翻译表现为一个选择、分类和挪用的过程，它抹去了所有不适合已经建立的认识领域的适当位置的东西。文章的最后一部分寻找那些从作为整合的翻译运动中逃脱出来的东西，并解决了不可译性问题。这个问题有助于我们揭示现代性挪用领域之外的因素。最后，我们把翻译说成是一场斗争。从认知翻译的角度来思考，已经是开始用过渡的词汇来思考，边界的词汇;不是从时间变化的角度来思考的过渡，而是指在现代性认知领域的边界上的过渡。现代性的知识霸权在于一种边界保持的政治，一种知识翻译的政治。
This essay opens the question of translation so as to reflect upon the movement at the borders of modernity. In particular it focuses on the question of translation as erasure, that is, as a mechanism through which modernity expands and demarcates its proper place, its territory. This operation of translation renders invisible everything that does not fit in the “parameters of legibility” of modernity's epistemic territory. Modernity's epistemic territory designates both the realm where the discourses of modernity thrive and their very horizon of intelligibility. Translation brings to view the epistemic borders where a politics of visibility is at play between erasure and visibility, disdain and recognition. To recognize the political content of modernity's epistemic territory is to recognize that the question of global social inequality cannot be addressed simply as the consequence of an incomplete modernity. It is to acknowledge that knowledge has been part and parcel of the modern / colonial systems of oppression and destitution. The epistemic territorial practices are such that all that lies outside their realm is made invisible, is excluded from the real and is actively disdained, even unnamed. At the borders their is the movement of rejection but also the movement of incorporation; where translation appears as a process of selection, classification and appropriation that erases all that does not fit into the proper place of the already established epistemic territory. The final part of the essay looks for that which escapes from the movement of translation as incorporation and addresses the question of untranslatability. This question help us reveal elements that are outside the field of appropriation of modernity. Finally we speak of translation as struggle. Thinking in terms of epistemic translation is already to begin thinking with a vocabulary of transition, of the borders; not transition in terms of chronological change, but rather referring to a transit at the borders of modernity's epistemic territory. The epistemic hegemony of modernity rests in a politics of border keeping, a politics of epistemic translation.
