What if the language of the world were not Globish but translation? This article proposes translation to be the best paradigm for human sciences, exportable to other fields of politics and society. ...As a know-how with differences, translation provides an articulation between the one and the universal, on the one hand, and diversity or singularities, on the other. Translation helps to think anew the nature-culture relationship, far from any rootedness or nationalism, and it practices a consistent relativism. The author starts from her own experience of the Dictionary of Untranslatables to philosophize in tongues.

Eines der dringendsten Probleme, die sich für Europa stellen, ist die Sprachenfrage. Zwei Lösungsmöglichkeiten kann man dabei ins Auge fassen: zum einen die Entscheidung für eine einzige dominierende ...Sprache, in der man sich künftig verständigt, also ein globalisiertes Angloamerikanisch; zum anderen den Erhalt der Pluralität, die immer wieder neu die Bedeutung und Wichtigkeit von Unterschieden deutlich macht – nur dies kann die Kommunikation zwischen Sprachen und Kulturen tatsächlich erleicht...

PLAYBOY: Is your company motto really “Don’t be evil”?
BRIN: Yes, it’s real.
PLAYBOY: Is it a written code?
BRIN: Yes. We have other rules, too.
PAGE: We allow dogs, for example.
BRIN: As for “Don’t ...be evil,” we have tried to define precisely what it means to be a force for good—always do the right, ethical thing. Ultimately, “Don’t be evil” seems the easiest way to summarize it.
PAGE: Apparently people like it better than “Be good.”
BRIN: It’s not enough not to be evil. We also actively try to be good.
PLAYBOY: Who ultimately decides what is

A good way into Google, into the culture of Google, is through its name. “Yahoo!” is taken from western slang. AltaVista and eBay are a kind of opening out of information technology onto the ...California horizon. What does “Google” mean to us?
“I google,” “google me,” “I feel googled”: The fact that the name has become a verb is the surest sign of its global success. I will begin, then, with this name, which, somewhere between a private joke and a cartoon onomatopoeia, flirts with meaning and with immediacy, all the more marketable because its dangerous aggression is softened by
“Our mission is to organize the world’s information.” “Don’t be evil.” Google’s two big secrets of success are in principle as open and transparent as possible, since they are embodied in their two ...watchwords: to organize, and to do good. Respectively, organization is the PageRank algorithm that enables relevant answers to be classified, and good is the financial wizardry that enables it to accomplish its mission. Each word of these emblematic phrases is worth dwelling on at some length.
Who is this missionary “we,” and what does “mission” mean?
“Our,” as a possessive adjective, indicates belonging to a “we.” “We,”
“Not since Gutenberg.” These words sound like the opening lines of a modern encyclical: “Not since Gutenberg … has any invention empowered individuals and transformed access to information as ...profoundly as Google.”¹ Fair enough to say this of the Internet, but of Google? It is one search engine among others, run by a private company of the same name. But it leads us to think that Google is precisely not “one among others.” It is, says David Vise, ourglobal favorite, and for millions of users it ends up being the same as the Internet. But it is the Internet,
Some data is more sensitive than other data.
When it comes to intimacy and privacy (mom’s apple pie recipe) and to inquisition by political or police authorities (the Patriot Act, Tiananmen Square), ...we can always express the pious wish that a private company such as Google should exercise the right to withhold or withdraw information (thereby contradicting its own status) and should try to help realize this pious wish through appropriate lobbying, boycotting, and competition—in other words, through blackmail and leverage of power.
I would like to explore, however, the Google effect on two other kinds of data that

Why am I interested in Google, and why is anyone interested in Google? For me, it all started with two anecdotes.
“Barbara Cassin”?
“Hello, I know who you are. I Googled you.” This is how one ...Internet-savvy stranger greeted me in his car one day as he was about to drive me to see friends we had in common. There are three “Barbara Cassins” I know of to date, including a lieutenant commander who is a spokesperson for the New Zealand navy and an American ophthalmologist. As Lacan explains in one of his major interventions from the early 1970s, “a
