Glasgow Zine Fest: Queering Translation with Camille Cornu

Sorry you are too late, this event has been and gone!

This workshop is about queering, performing, experimenting with, and interrogating concepts of both translation and gender.

About Glasgow Zine Fest: Queering Translation with Camille Cornu

“I read with my body, I read and move to translate with my body, and my body is not the same as yours” - Kate Briggs.

Using extracts from French feminism as a starting point, we will question the politics of translation and explore creative ways to approach a foreign language.

Who and how do we choose to translate? Could interrogating the dominance of certain languages be a key to translation? What kind of new creative pathways could open up? Could working across languages challenge the ways in which we think about our genders and sexualities? What does it mean to translate into a dominant language?

No knowledge of French is required.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
