The chapter approaches emotion and translation from the perspective of Peirce’s semiotics. Peirce differentiates between emotion, feeling, and sensation. For him, the translation of an emotion is a complex process of semiotic mediation. Emotions are legisigns and as such translatable, whereas the feelings experienced in a state of emotion are untranslatable. In contrast to emotions, which are representations, feelings are phenomena of “immediate consciousness”. However, despite their untranslatability, feelings are signs. They belong to a class of signs that is generally untranslatable, that of iconic rhematic qualisigns. The chapter argues that untranslatability is not a semiotic anomaly. Feelings cannot, but need not either, be translated, just like the sound of music, flavor of delicacies, or fragrances of perfume are signs that need no translators.
