Participants in this workshop are invited to reflect on the growing use of translation and narrative in a range of scholarly domains as tropes and lenses through which scholars in a variety of disciplines have attempted to reflect on their respective objects of enquiry, and on the interrelations between different kinds of knowledge.
The organizers of this workshop seek contributions that engage productively and critically with these related turns to narrative and translation, which are evident across many disciplines.
Key note: Professor Charles Briggs, University of California, Berkeley
Charles Briggs' special interests are social/cultural anthropology, especially as relating to linguistic and medical anthropology, narrative, media and mediatization, folklore and performance, racialization, and violence.
