Details

Flyer for The Translator and His Labyrinth

What happens when we move away from thinking about translation as "this little art," to be considered in terms of beauty and fidelity, and begin envisioning translations as sculpture, or architecture, or land art? Jeffrey Zuckerman will talk about the ways in which a wide-angle approach to translation — pushing the limits of English syntax, and the literary canon, and the real world — can reshape our intellectual landscapes, our cultural contexts, and even ourselves.
