Rutgers Camden Cooper Street Workshop: How We Translate / December 6, 2025 / 1 -4 PM, in person at the Rutgers-Camden Writer’s House
We will consider what is literary translation and what role it plays in the literary landscape of the United States. While looking at translation politically, we will also consider how we translate in the everyday, whether we know we are doing so or not. Together, we’ll encounter excerpts from Transgressive Circulations by Johannes Göransson, Repetition Nineteen by Monica de la Torre, Lyn Hejinian’s essay “Forms in Alterity: On Translation” and other short works. We will then play with and translate our own texts and the texts of others, experimenting with form, context, and strategy.
