Abstract
Through its practice as well as its theorization, translation generates knowledge and know-hows that are plural and scattered. As such, they frustrate the federation of translation theories into a monolithic domain, hence foiling the domination of any one metatheory. Because of their dispersion, heterogeneous theories of translation seem to follow a migratory movement, pointing to a kinetic epistemology. The act of admitting where one stands, one's position be it in polysystems theory, sociology, feminism, postcolonialism, hermeneutics or poetics - is the foundation of an ethical behavior.
