- More about Ma(r)king the Difference: Multiculturalism and the Politics of Translation

This extensive research offers a groundbreaking conceptual reimagining of the evolution of concepts employed to delineate qualitative distinctions among identities across Central Europe and the Americas from the 16th to the 21st centuries. The key contribution lies in the comprehensive integration of colonial history into the genealogy of Western political thought and ideas, as well as the insightful postcolonial exploration of multiculturalism. The manuscript delves into the profound power and authority of translation, providing the reader with a deep-dive into the history of colonial racism through a rigorous conceptual analysis of three historical debates that have hitherto been overlooked in conjunction. By interlinking the so-called "Indian Question," the "Jewish Question," and the multicultural question, this thesis offers a valuable critical revision of the origins of Humanism in colonial contexts and times, as well as an original critique of the power and violence of language in shaping differences, which is framed in terms of translation. Remarkably, this thesis was recognized as one of the three top dissertations in critical social thinking of the year 2019 by the Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung.
