Location: S182 Lake Michigan, 8th Floor
The Translating Muse: Some Perspectives on Creative Process
Etymological roots, synonyms branching. Beyond a decoding ring, what does translation as a creative process entail?
This panel discusses the challenges and delights of projecting an original text's meaning and form into an English
equivalent and the various decisions that are involved. Working with Chinese, Greek, French, Italian, Spanish,
and Vietnamese in poetry and prose, this panel's translators discuss their role as intermediaries, magicians,
and scholars working between languages to create an inspired text that oftentimes reaches across cultural
differences, geographic distances, and time periods. Because of this embrace, the translator's task
in the 21st century might imply much more than extending the life of the original work.
It might actually make possible the original's renewal.
