Indeed, watching as an #audiovisual translator, or watching like an AV translator, is a method of watching very, very well.

"For #Searls, the way to tell bad writing from good is this: 'Bad writing is predictable, good writing is defamiliarizing.' Put differently, a good book either feels unfamiliar or makes us feel less familiar to ourselves. In reading it, we can remember that this unsettling sensation—this sensation of foreignness—is, in fact, not foreign at all. It’s human; it’s an expansion of the mind and the heart. A good piece of writing, if and only if it’s read well, can do that to us. In #ThePhilosophyOfTranslation, Searls shows that reading as a translator, or reading like a translator, is a method of reading very, very well."
