OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

In this practice-based workshop, Stuart Bell and Sophie Seita will introduce various translational and translingual techniques of writing and making—asking about the political and ethical potential or pitfalls of these practices along the way. Specifically, translation does not just describe the movement from one language to another, but also the messy movement between languages, from one medium or material to another, and the many forms of rewriting and dialogue with other texts and voices through adaptation, appropriation, erasure, citation, and constraint-based or permutational procedures. The workshop will also consider queer and feminist approaches to translation, questions around tactility and texture, gesture, and the physicality of writing.
