On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
