Exploring the Poetic and Multimodal Nature of Translation
Translating experiences between different beings and cultures may involve poetic and multimodal approaches, not just simple literal translations. While some shared experiences like grief can be understood, there are aspects of other beings' lives, like the way sperm whales perceive the world, that may never be directly translatable to humans. These translations may involve elements like music with specific colors and require time to comprehend. Future generations may be more adept at understanding these unique translations, bringing about a new way of perceiving and connecting with diverse cultures and beings.
