The University of London Institute in Paris, in conjunction with Queen Mary University of London, the American University of Paris and University of Kent, Paris School of Arts and Culture, are pleased to be hosting a new joint series of events following on from the Politics of Translation, Translation of Cultures series.
Events are free (reservation is advised) and are open to all and any
interested parties. Seminars are followed by a drinks reception.
The prefix trans-, more than any other marker, has been used to signify this displacement of politics. The prefix trans- now operates in multiple compounds: transnational, transdisciplinarity, transgender, transcultural and many more. It also expresses processes of displacement such as translation, transition, transference or transgression. This is perhaps because trans- evokes multiple meanings: crossing over, changing, moving between, passing through, over, to or on the other side of, beyond, outside of, from one place, person, thing, or state to another.
We will be asking speakers to think through the modulation produced by trans- in order to consider how it works between and across the categories that shape our sense of the world and the disciplines of study that make up its girders.
The questions we will be addressing include:
