Beyond “Mokusatsu": Training Translators to Shape the World - Patrycja Lidia Stempniewicz

This research examines the ethical stakes of translation, using the Hiroshima "mokusatsu" case to illustrate how linguistic ambiguity can have far-reaching consequences, while also opening a broader reflection on the social responsibility of translators. It proposes service learning as a pedagogical model, integrating real-world translation tasks with ethical reflection. This approach enhances student responsibility, critical thinking, and civic engagement in professional translation practice.
