| Abstract | Translation Studies, alongside modern languages and many other disciplines in humanities, is declining. As a journal dedicated to early-career scholars and the voices of new researchers, we, the editorial board of New Voices in Translation Studies, ask what the fresh intellectual energy in our discipline might contribute against this trend. Central to this discussion is the threat posed by the rise of an acultural ideology, a logic found in current society that commodifies knowledge while flattening cultural specificity. While emerging public narratives suggest a move toward uniformity, our personal, lived reality remains superdiversified. This contradiction runs the risk of silencing the marginalised and turning individuals into social nonsubjects. In this editorial, we argue that translation, understood as both an act of ethical hospitality and a somatic practice of self-knowledge, holds the promise of reviving the humanities in an age of alienation. |
