Thijs Vissia translation Dutch/Englishø

aantekeningen en {Titel}  

 

I translate mostly from English to Dutch and vice versa, and occasionally from German. I have 10+ years of experience in editorial work and translation practice, with a special interest in critical historical thought and political/philosophical/art-related texts.
Besides translation I'm available for other editorial work, rewriting, copychecking or similar.

For rates and other inquiries, please contact me at mail [at] thijsvissia.nl.

ECOLOGICAL CRISIS + CAPITALISM =
I am currently working on a plan for a collaborative translation-oriented website on climate and ecological crisis and global social relations, on the implied sociopolitical dangers and on the shaping of our sense of alternatives.

The aim is to build a shared tool to explore these relations, by means of translations of full texts and fragments, as well as a critical dictionary of sorts to link terminology and material. Building the initial multi-author site will likely take until later in 2019.

If you are interested in being involved as an author/translator, or have any ideas or questions, please send e-mail to the above address.

Aantekeningen

'setzen'

The philosophical uses of setzen correspond to, and are influenced by, those of the Greek tithenai, tithesthai (1 ‘to place’, 2 ‘to affirm, posit, assume’), but the common translation, ‘to posit’, comes from the past participle, positus, of the Latin ponere (‘to put’, etc.). - hier vertaald als 'stellen', 'gesteld', etc.
