Abstract

This issue of REGAC aims to investigate the theoretical alliance between art and visual translation. The concept of visual translation is related to both a hermeneutical notion that reflects on the complexities of the contemporary artistic artefact and an epistemological attempt at reflection on the cultural and linguistic exchanges that take place between subjects and international events. The articles collected around four thematic axes, or contact zones – linguistic, cultural, intercultural and intermedial, allow us to validate the theorization of a translational turnwithin visual cultural over the last twenty years.
