Finally home, my head heavy with all the connecting treads and sprouting ideas - thank you everyone at #MultilingualLit and particularly @creativelangs The conference was a real feast!
Fascinating presentation on #urban #signlanguage.s by @RinkooBarpaga
As a linguist (of oral languages), I feel humbled and enriched by what I have seen from Rinkoo -- and heard thanks to his amazing interpreters @brettbest & Kam Deo. #MultilingualLit
The many shapes of #thankyou and the #multilingual ways to #sign #england from @RinkooBarpaga as we reach #peak #creativemultilinguism at #Mtilinguallit 2/3
Discovering where/when/how/why languages have and gain value through a final discussion with @HannaAli and #SilvijaJestrovic on #writingactivism and #MultilingualLit — discovering how language both makes and I makes both individual and community as we wrap up a great conference!
Complicating the linguistic and genealogical tree @RebekahLVince reads #translation as #metamorphoses where #MultilingualLit must transform and recover as it moves across contexts
Final paper at #OWRI @creativelangs conference on #MultilingualLit is @RebekahLVince, talking about Multilingualism & Metamorphosis in Apulée: revue de littérature & de réflexion. On mobile decentred work of @EditionsZulma to go beyond dominant world-literature paradigm in France
‘Multilingualism puts us on edge- not at the border but at the cutting edge’ @RebekahLVince launches the last panel of #MultilingualLit with a bang #edgeofourseats
‘All texts are performing’ #KeyaAnjaria reads #TheClownandHisDaughter & it’s simultaneous Turkish self-translation (1935/6) as a ‘single literary event’ that performs and contests language purification and national #monolingualism - suggesting writing is always #MultilingualLit
#Dictee becomes an exploration of colonial violence and language limitations in #ElizabethFriis’ reading of the poetic work—at once #creativemultilingualism this #MultilingualLit uses the disciplinary artifice of dictation to explore the openings we find in language ‘mistakes’
To write the post-colonial without beginning with loss? #BirgitKaiser of @UtrechtUni reads #HeleneCixous as a displacement of the binary central to colonial thought, in favour of a rich field of plenty that includes violence through English/Arabic/French/Spanish #multilinguallit
This is happening today at 4pm in Oxford. #MultilingualLit
If you’re in Oxford this Saturday I’ll be on this panel on Multilingualism and Performance. Tickets: https://t.co/KG6UFFzoFi @englishpen @creativelangs #MultilingualLit
Birgit Kaiser talking at #MultilingualLit about Cixous's multilingual poetics. On choosing "Free-ench, & belonging to "tribe of those who turmoil language": "French is multilingual, it has been grafted diversely & is composed largely of Latin etc ., but then it has been invaded."
“The revolution of the English Language is an accomplished fact” #transitionMagazine declares in 1929 #JulietteTaylor_Batty reads the mag’s manfesto for the #RejuvinationOfEnglish from a #translation policy moving from comprehensability ➡️#MultilingualLit
#Formlessform? What happens when power and prejudice #translates beings? @delphinegrass1 digs into #Alsatian identity & positioning of #border community as “half formed” + linguistic/artistic responses as works “crossed by form but not marked by it” #MultilingualLit
#KidLit classic #Urosin like you’ve never thought it—as a #swiss #Romansh language activism with 3 original editions, 4 authors and 5 languages 👋🏽 goodbye to notions of binary translation and linear publishing histories! From #HannahFelce of @cardiffmlang on #MultilingualLit
We’re back with @shuangyi_li thinking about the Chinese calligraphic illumination of #FrancoisCheng’s French #exophone novel on 3/3 of #MultilingualLit —where the ‘spirit inhabiting the graphic form’ is translated by the i##wordimages
Made it to final day of #OWRI @creativelangs conference on #MultilingualLit. Going to chair panel on representing languages with @shuangyi_li, Hannah Felce & @delphinegrass1. On multilingual & multimodal, minority languages, & translations without objects. https://t.co/wl26lPNznc
