Correct Transcript:

Approaching cosmological and ontological differences seriously implies suspending the parading of universalism which has proved itself a most effective tool in the neutralisation of the thought and cosmologies of others. There is no need here to deepen further this controversy. No doubt this debate between two prominent figures of the discipline raises measure question not only about cultural and ontological differences, but also about how we are, as anthropologists, to take seriously what the others say about the world, about other ways of being knowing and relating to the world. Another point at which I wish to make here is that, as anthropologists, we should never lose sight of what are considered as one of our main responsibilities, and that is understand and translate different and alterity understand and translate the multiplicity of worlds, other epistemologies and ontology. And work towards the genuine recognition and the legitimacy of such multiplicity.

Printed "proving", the speaker says "proved"

Explanation: Listen again to "has proved itself". The first letter is the same, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "presentable", the speaker says "prominent"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "two prominent figures". They start with p, so wait for the end of the word.

Printed "dissolutions", the speaker says "differences"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "about cultural and ontological differences". The first letter is the same, so follow the sound, not the page.

Printed "raising", the speaker says "relating"

Explanation: The speaker says "relating to the world", not "raising". The words start with the same letter and end the same, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "condemned", the speaker says "considered"

Explanation: Listen for "are considered as one". Both words start with c, so trust what you hear.

Printed "altered", the speaker says "alterity"

Explanation: You will hear "alterity understand and". They start with the same letter, but they end differently, so listen to the final part.

Printed "genuis", the speaker says "genuine"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "genuine recognition and". The first letter is the same, so listen to the whole word.
