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.
