Warhol in French

Abstract

To translate is like playing a violin: more or less off-key, but always off-key. To examine the translations of Warhol—of his words and film images—is to see in evidence an effort, conscious or otherwise, to water down the power of these words and images, to bring them into a normativity that they exceed. It is to follow the moment in which a culture digests, for better and worse, what nourishes its body.
