Niewidomi tłumacze, (nie)widzialni aktywiści?
Blind Translators, (In)Visible Activists?

Summary/Abstract: This paper illustrates the forms of organisation and activism of translators/interpreters with visual impairment by way of interviews and the archive of their international mailing list. Due to this variety of materials, Figiel illustrates different forms of activism of blind translators (including those living outside Poland). He posits that their activism is connected with the increasing objectivised and embodied forms of cultural capital required from such translators. Translators’ activism contributes to the improvement of their working conditions, and to the improvement blind people’s quality of life. Nevertheless, blind translators remain invisible as activists.
