TRANSLATED ACTS 3

Friday 27th - Saturday 28th November

Clore 101, Clore Management Building, Birkbeck College, Torrington Square, London WC1

This third and final seminar focuses on presenting and discussing modes of practice that address in many different ways questions of cultural translation, linguistic or textual exchange, intermodal transformation. We wish to discuss the notion of translational poetics itself as a mode of writing and of thinking that articulates broader modes of contemporary cultural and ethical engagement/s.

The series exists exclusively to favour discussions and inputs from a whole range of text-led practitioners, both established, emerging and rearing to go. The writers invited come from different modes of practice.

Friday 27th, 5.30 - 7.45pm

• Carol Watts: welcome and introduction
• Galician poet Chus Pato and translator and poet William Rowe in conversation about her work, translation and language politics, and read from Erin Moure’s translations.
• Poet and visual writer Redell Olsen presents her recent work and ideas about crossmedia writing and appropriative modes in conversation with critic and translator Emily Tomlinson.

Presentations will be followed by a small drinks reception.

Admission free.

Saturday 28th, 10am - 5pm
