A Manifesto for Undertranslation

^{You should try talking in my shoes for a mile —Sofia Vergara Nothing is lost in translation.}

^{Everything was always already lost, long before we arrived. —A manifesto for Ultratranslation by Antena}

• Undertranslation es ir hasta abajo, a fuego, es playing reggeaton a las 2 de la mañana in a stoic bachata dancefloor
• This manifesto is always under-translation 
• Undertranslation is distributed authorship.
• To undertranslate is to refuse the dominance of certain languages over others.
• Undertranslating™️
• Under_tra_n_s_latin_g is what’s hidden in the unconscious of every language
• Undertranslation resists uniformity by rejecting the notion that translations must mirror the source text precisely—rather, it acknowledges the dynamism of language.
• Undertranslation results in the production of gestures, signals, waves, interpretations, signs, movements, marks, codes, hieroglyphs, characters, marks, figures, symbols, marks.
• Undertranslation refuses to alienate readers as it is an inclusive space.
• Undertranslation emerges from the heterogeneity of voices. An undertranslated text can contain multiple genders, agents and consciousness. 
• Undertranslation encourages rhythm, drawing, cadence, gesture and context.
• Undertranslation opposes the reduction of translation to a mere transaction of words. Instead, it is a form that transcends the exchange of text, breathing life, ideas and emotions.
• Undertranslation is definitely not oversimplifying, it does not omit, but it is not a mirror, means conveying less than the source or is, without considering 
• Undertranslation does not believe in loss in meaning “that occurs naturally with any translation” 
• Undertranslation is an experimental translation of ultratranslation.
• Undertranslation was added to our personal dictionaries.
• Undertranslatability is closer to piracy than to auratic originality.
