- Abstract:
- Seminar paper for 'Translating the Nonhuman', organised by Liam Lewis (University of Warwick) and Haylie Swenson (The George Washington University) Seminar Abstract -- This seminar invites participants to consider the connections created by translations of the nonhuman into human languages. To what extent is language the domain of the human, and the human defined by language? And how does thinking about nonhumans destabilize these questions? Participants might share work on how nature is translated onto the page, the ways that ideas of humanness are connected to non- or plurilingualism, translations of the nonhuman across genre, and how translation as a contact zone between the human and the nonhuman might encourage exchange and neighborliness between the two.
