  Translation can be understood as any act of description, interpretation, or dissemination. It is always caught up in power relations that are configured by the asymmetries between people, languages, and regions (Lima Costa 2014a: 20). In the context of the Americas, the movement of ideas occurs across asymmetrical power relations. Ideas encounter roadblocks and migratory checkpoints as they attempt to cross borders (Lima Costa 2014a: 21). As a result, dialogue across hemispheres mirrors asymmetries of power and has led to the mistaken notion that nothing originates from the Global South, but rather is only imported into the region from the Global North. Translation is made further complex by “theory brokers” (e.g., academics, donors, feminist NGO’s) that mediate the movement of ideas (Lima Costa 2014a: 25). As ideas move, their meanings shift, and their transformation is contingent on the culture or discipline that receives them (Lima Costa 2014a: 29). Hence, discursive migration is not neutral, and in the process, location comes to frame how to understand the reconfiguration of ideas. Thinking about translation through the matrix of discursive migration illuminates the way in which difference and power play a crucial role in how knowledge becomes legitimated across difference.
