interpretación, traducción, juicio de crímenes de guerra, Radovan Karadžić, dinámicas de poderResumen
Los testimonios presentados en los juicios por crímenes de guerra que se llevaron a cabo en el Tribunal Penal Internacional para la antigua Yugoslavia fueron, en su totalidad, transcritos, grabados, traducidos e interpretados a otros idiomas. Durante los juicios las personas que sirvieron como traductores e intérpretes tuvieron un alto grado de visibilidad y las frases, los términos, y el tono que elegían fueron objeto de discusión, incluso de acalorados debates, en todas y cada una de las sesiones. A estas/estos mismos profesionales se les instó incluso a defender sus decisiones en memorandos oficiales. Después de que se le arrestó y acusó de haber cometido crímenes de guerra, Radovan Karadžić, ex presidente de la República Srpska de Bosnia y Herzegovina, optó por conducir su propia defensa. Tenía suficiente conocimiento de la lengua inglesa para hacer un atento seguimiento de la interpretación tan pronto esta se enunciaba en la cabina. Sus disputas con las/los profesionales de la lengua eran frecuentes y despiadadas. La relación entre las/los intérpretes y Karadžić se convirtió en una especie de esgrima: entre el ataque y la defensa.
