| Summary: | In this paper, I confront various conceptions of meaning and articulate them to anthropological styles of thought: W. V. Quine's thesis of the indeterminacy of translation, Wittgenstein's conception of meaning as use, Cavell's philosophy of ordinary language, of "what we say"; Barbara Cassin's Dictionary of Untranslatables where I approached English terms as inherently untranslatable; attention to details and to human vulnerability through the "textures of the ordinary" Veena Das teaches us to observe. All these approaches to meaning as agency, vs. meaning as a determined entity shared and expressed by different languages, lead to renew our concept of the global. |
