In its first part, the title of this monographic issue reads something like “(Translation) mistakes that are not (real mistakes).” In the next few pages, I will try to deconstruct it starting from the element that seems the most intriguing one to me, namely the negation. I will try to play with it, to combine it in various ways, somehow hijacking the original meaning and intention of this issue. I will thus speak, in different paragraphs, of “mistakes that are mistakes,” of “non-mistakes that are mistakes,” of “mistakes that are not mistakes,” and, finally, of “non-mistakes that are not mistakes.” I will also show that between the first and the last category there is a small but decisive difference – although the double negative should theoretically erase it.

Abstract

In its first part, the title of this monographic issue reads something like “(Translation) mistakes that are not (real mistakes).” In the next few pages, I will try to deconstruct it starting from the element that seems the most intriguing one to me, namely the negation. I will try to play with it, to combine it in various ways, somehow hijacking the original meaning and intention of this issue. I will thus speak, in different paragraphs, of “mistakes that are mistakes,” of “non-mistakes that are mistakes,” of “mistakes that are not mistakes,” and, finally, of “non-mistakes that are not mistakes.” I will also show that between the first and the last category there is a small but decisive difference – although the double negative should theoretically erase it.
