Translations
Articles and interviews translated by the Antidote Writers Collective. Note that we also feature translations from other sources as well, but do not include them here.
Incidentally, translation (mainly from German or Spanish into English) is labor we are willing to do upon request or suggestion, with adequate compensation: we’re an unfunded project so we can be coaxed into selling our labor for money. But! if we like the material we’re translating we also accept permission to post as fair reward.

Climate Emergency in Switzerland

“As long as people are fleeing, we will try to rescue them.”
It’s shocking to see how much time and effort state agencies put into combating sea rescues.

The Balkans in Rightwing Mythology
The ideas that became socially acceptable with the rise of Serbian nationalism in the 1980s soon found their concrete political implementation. What emerged was an ideological cocktail of racism, demographic panic, conspiratorial paranoia, and revanchism that ultimately proposed an urgent need for action against an allegedly existential threat.

Reporting Against Brutal Occupiers
Members of RBSS have devoted their lives to a higher cause: the battle for the story of the Syrian war online. Some have even lost their lives for it. “We have to keep going,” says AbdAlaziz Alhamza.

Sinking Dreams
The rescue boat is still a long way off, at least two minutes away. I can see through the spray of the sea that it is coming as fast as it can. But it is too late for us.
