Abstract:

For several decades, Rusmir Mahmutćehajić has been a key figure in Bosnian intellectual life, and a crucial builder of transnational links between Bosnia and the wider world. This article focuses on just one aspect of this link-building: his activities as a translator and a commissioner of translated work, on topics as varied as philosophy, religion, poetry, and translation studies. The evidence presented in this article shows Mahmutćehajić to be a “dedicated expert” in this field: in other words, someone who plays a central role in opening and maintaining important channels of communication across languages and cultures. This has happened not just via his own translations, but also by the translation projects he has commissioned, and by the other actors he has enlisted into these projects.
