Translation: The Anatomy of Language
Update: 2023-12-15
Description
What is the nature of translation? Does it hinge on precision or is it inherently a creative process? Is it possible to live in a perpetual state of translation, both personally and professionally? And are some things simply untranslatable? Join Dr. K and Karén Karslyan - award winning poet, artist, and translator, as they discuss the cultural, social, philosophical, and linguistic underpinnings behind all kinds of translations. In response to Karen’s self-characterization as a medical examiner of language, they explore the multifaceted language dynamics and policies in Karen’s personal life, the drama behind his role as a medical interpreter, the nuances of translating his own literary works, and so much more.
