Alfred Gell’s idea of memory presented in his “Art and Agency”, which passes through the biography of the person (understood not only as human being, but also as the object of art itself), is put in dialogue with contemporary studies on cultural memory in order to debate the role of translation on the perpetuation of remembrance. Aleida Assmann’s media and memory concepts mediate all this work, bringing up the hypothesis that translation is a medium of memory. The translation is here studied in direct contact with life, bios, as part of the biographical construction of the person and the work of art, or, specifically, of literature, in order to reallocate it in the debates about cultural memory.
