Hi #DisabilityTwitter . Could I have some support as I do something rather audacious?
You might be thinking: "Cy, you already published your email to HR across all platforms today. You can just sit back and relax."

But that email was basic. I learned nothing from that email. Nothing that I did not already know.
But now I want to apply for something that I know my hero, an icon in philosophy, and you will all know her name in 20 years time, will read.

Her name? Shelley Lynn Tremain.

Yes, you already know her. Some of you. The rest of you? Catch up.

"Undinge. Umbrüche der Lebeswelt" del filósofo alemán* #ByungChulHan tiene un título de TRES palabras. Abro hilo👇

*sí, alemán: el hombre se formó, desarrolló su carrera, vive en Alemania y escribe en alemán desde hace 30 años; tiene tanto de surcoreano como como yo de mendocino
...y el traductor no fue capaz de traducir ninguna de ellas bien. Veamos:

1⃣ "Un·ding"
(lit. "in/a·cosa")

etimológicamente una "no-cosa", pero el significado vivo de la palabra es:

1. Absurdo, ridículo, disparatado.
2. Deforme, monstruoso, aterrador.

Traducción: "No-Cosa" 👇
Yo entiendo que BCH habla en su libro de #NoCosas, pero es que "Undinge" tiene una carga negativa APLASTANTE, que desaparece por completo en la traducción ¡Mal! 👇
