SUMMARY:Translating Poetry\, Translating Blackness
DESCRIPTION:Over the last 50 years the field of translation studies has developed a substantial discourse around the topic of translation\, in all of its forms. Yet the topic of “race” in relation to translation—literary\, cultural\, professional\, legal\, etc.—translation remains little discussed. \nThis presentation will explore a particular aspect of this issue\, the translation of Black poets\, Black writers more broadly and writing by authors of African descent and heritage\, and of “Blackness” itself\, particularly with regard to its complex and conflicted relationship with the ideas of “America” and American hegemony. \nWhy is it important to translate Black poets\, and Black authors in general\, writing in non-Anglophone and non-European languages\, from outside the US. and how might our thinking about this apply to other non-White and non-European writers? How might translators\, especially Black translators of non-US based Black writers and writing\, think about the work they are translation\, and what practices might they incorporate into their process? How might non-Black translators from every part of the globe think about this topic? These are but a few of the questions this talk hopes to raise. \nPlease RSVP to Barbara Leavey blleavey@princeton.edu
