OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Discussion Group - Translation and Gender
In a joint event with OCCT Review, we will host one of the journal’s contributors, Eleonora Colli, who will discuss her review of Transgender, Translation, Translingual Address by Douglas Robinson. In his 2019 book, Transgender, Translation, Translingual Address, Robinson sets out on a quest “to understand the ‘translational’ or ‘translingual’ dialogues between cisgendered and transgendered people”. The book moves between queer, gender, and translation theory in order to create a practice of communication breaking away from binary restrictions of original and target languages. In this session we will explore issues and debates centred around gender and translation that Robinson’s book elicits. Colli’s review is available here: www.occt.ox.ac.uk/cct-review/transgender-translation-translingual-address-douglas-robinson
Eleonora Colli is a DPhil student at the Faculty of Classics, Oxford.
