F111. The New Translation: Writing through Rewriting

Room 3A, Washington State Convention Center, Level 3
Friday, February 28, 2014
9:00 am to 10:15 am

 

Experimental translation techniques have taken up attitudes toward the nature of the original that complicate or conflict with more dutiful notions of translation. From the carefully oblique to the wildly discrepant, we are interested in techniques of translation that seek to heighten the noise that exists at the fragile moment of cultural transfer. This panel will speak both to the long tradition of these kinds of techniques as well as incarnations potentiated by new media.
