This page collects together the translations I have made of works by and about Bernard Stiegler and works related to his project. I am an amateur translator with only a working knowledge of French, augmented by reference materials, so please take all of these translations as ‘working’ texts rather than polished prose. I am indebted to both Patrick Crogan and Dan Ross for their help and encouragement in this work.
