SUMMARY:Manchester Translation Series: Translating the Contextual
DESCRIPTION:Poet-translators A. E. Stallings and Jeffrey Yang have worked across diverse sets of text – from ancient didactics and illustrated epics to Modern Greek activists in Stallings’ work\, to translations of Tang-Song Dynasty poets and contemporary Chinese and Uyghur activists in Yang’s work\, and much more. Beyond the textual and semantic\, how do they translate across time\, societal structures and norms\, and their varying degrees of personal proximity with the source text and its culture? \n\n\n\nIn this panel discussion\, we’ll explore how the contextual can (or cannot) be translated and what clues these poet-translators leave in their work to guide readers to a deeper appreciation of what otherwise might be a foreign\, inaccessible world. \n\n\n\nAnita Ngai is a poet and artist and a poetry MFA student at Manchester Metropolitan University. Her work bears witness on lives in between. Drawing on past lives as an engineer\, strategy consultant and marketer\, she works with different media\, including the poetic word\, data and space. Born in Hong Kong and raised in North America\, Anita’s writing was long-listed for The National Poetry Competition 2021 and commissioned for the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. \n\n\n\nA.E. Stallings is the Oxford Professor of Poetry. Her poetry collections include Like (2018)\, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize; Olives (2012)\, which was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award; Hapax (2006); and Archaic Smile (1999)\, winner of the Richard Wilbur Award and finalist for both the Yale Younger Poets Series and the Walt Whitman Award. Her poems have appeared in The Best American Poetry anthologies of 1994\, 2000\, 2015\, 2016\, and 2017\, and she is a frequent contributor to Poetry and the Times Literary Supplement. Stallings’s latest verse translation is the pseudo-Homeric The Battle Between the Frogs and the Mice (2019)\, in an illustrated edition with Paul Dry Books\, and her latest volume of poetry is a selected poems\, This Afterlife (2022\, FSG). She is the recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the MacArthur Foundation. She lives in Athens\, Greece. \n\n\n\nJeffrey Yang is the author of the poetry collections Line and Light (Graywolf Press\, 2022)\, Hey\, Marfa (Graywolf Press\, 2018)\, Vanishing-Line (Graywolf Press\, 2011)\, and An Aquarium (Graywolf Press\, 2008).

SUMMARY:Manchester Translation Series: Who’s Laughing Now?
DESCRIPTION:Translating humour across cultures can be a challenge. Often a literal translation of a joke from one language to another will fall flat. But is there creative potential to be found in failed translations of humour? \n\n\n\nJoin Manchester City Poet Charlotte Shevchenko Knight for a workshop which explores the poetic possibilities of jokes lost in translation. No materials or second languages are required for the session\, you need only bring a sense of humour. \n\n\n\nCharlotte Shevchenko Knight is a poet of British and Ukrainian heritage. Her debut pamphlet Ways of Healing was a winner of the 2022 New Poets Prize. Her debut collection Food for the Dead\, published by Jonathan Cape\, was a winner of the 2023 Eric Gregory Award\, and is shortlisted for the 2024 Forward Arts Foundation’s Felix Dennis Prize for Best First Collection. Shevchenko Knight is a PhD student at Manchester Metropolitan University and is based in York \n\n\n\n\nTickets
