Does the language you think in affect how you see the world around you? How about your perception of yourself? In our increasingly shrinking world, how does the linguistic "chutney" of our thoughts impact our experiences?

Where does the work of editing fit into this idea of reading? In other words, how does an editor’s reading of a text write it? The more I think about it, the more it seems to me that an edited text is always the product of a shared vision: that of the author and the editor. The published version then contains a kind of subatomic tension between the author’s writing, the editor’s “writing”, and the reader’s “writing”.
How can I be invisible, as an editor must, if I am also to mediate between the cultural world the author comes from and the English-speaking academic sphere?
