Events

Please join Brandon Brown, Judith Goldman, David Brazil, and the Nonsite Collective for a panel discussion and workshop on the politics and ethics of translation on Wednesday. August 22nd.

The panel promises to be a very exciting one, in which participants will give informal mini-talks on their translation practices, dilating their thoughts about key issues in translation through problems/questions they have addressed in translating specific texts. Presenters so far include David Larsen, Brandon Brown, Susan Gevirtz, Eleni Stecopoulos, and Earl Jackson (via Rob Halpern), while Chris Daniels and Andrew Joron will be discussants. Collective discussion is encouraged throughout.

The panel will take place at the home of David Brazil and Judith
Goldman, at 7:30 pm at 5338 College Avenue, Apt. D. This venue is about three blocks south of the Rockridge BART station (a five minute or so walk from that station), on the east side of the street. Our home phone number is 510-594-9538.

This discussion will initiate a curriculum sponsored by the Nonsite Collective engaged with the question of translation as social and aesthetic practice. The next event related to this curriculum will be a 10-player performance of Brandon Brown's translation of Aeschylus' "The Persians," which will take place at 2pm on Sunday, August 26th. (A formal invitation to the play with further details will follow soon.)

Please be sure to RSVP to Judith Goldman at goldman.judith AT gmail dot com
by Friday, August 17th if you plan to attend the translation panel so that we can get a headcount.
