Translation
In a previous incarnation I worked as a translator and interpreter in Spanish and Portuguese. (I can probably still get around in French and simple Italian too, if need be.) Most of the work was commercial or otherwise ephemeral in nature, but here is a recently written work that I translated for Argentine ethnomusicologist Guillermo Wilde, Toward a Political Anthropology of Mission Sound: Paraguay in the 17th and 18th Centuries.
