SUMMARY:Rehab Bassam on Publishing\, Writing\, and Translating Arabic Children's Literature
DESCRIPTION:Learn all about a children’s book journey from writing to publishing from a seasoned children’s books translator and editor.\n\nThe event will be on Wednesday November 17\, 2021 from 11:30 am -12:30 noon Cairo time and it will be mostly in Egyptian Arabic. It will be recorded.\n\nSign up here:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-give-your-book-wings-tickets-208478594087\n\nAbout Rehab Bassam:\n\nRehab Bassam is a seasoned wordsmith with many hats. The hat she thinks suits her most is that of a translator and editor of children’s books. She has worked in translation for several sectors\, but translating children’s books is her passion\, although a very challenging one. Over ten years\, Rehab worked for one of Egypt’s largest publishing houses – Dar El Shorouk\, as a translator\, editor\, and publishing manager; with a special focus on children’s books. She had the privilege of working with numerous authors and illustrators of children’s books\, in Egypt and the Arab world. \nRehab translated some of the Mr Men and Little Miss titles into Arabic\, like Mr Tickle and Little Miss Sunshine. Recently\, two of her translated books\, All About Feelings and All About Friends\, were among the children nonfiction bestsellers at the Cairo Book Fair 2021 over the summer. Moreover\, she edited a 10-book series titled “Our Folktales”\, that will be published soon by Makouk. \nRehab is currently based in Newcastle\, UK\, where she teaches Arabic in an engaging and fun way to children under her franchise of the Kalamna Arabic School. She collaborated and edited a 10-book series of the Kalamna PhonicsTM graded readers to help children read Arabic. Rehab used to be a prolific blogger that her online writings got edited and published in a small pink book titled “Rice Pudding for Two” (Dar El Shorouk\, 2008). One of her short stories got published and translated by Mada Masr. More recently\, two additional short stories got translated and published by ArabLit Quarterly. Rehab holds a BA in English Literature from Ain Shams University and studied written and simultaneous translation at the American University in Cairo. \n

SUMMARY:Translation as Haven: Dwelling in the Language of the In-Between
DESCRIPTION:Emma Ramadan will discuss her relationship to translation and how translating texts that exist outside the domain of classical French—particularly experimental literature and works from North Africa and the Arab World—has opened up space for new language and new meanings\, and in turn allowed for the discovery of a personal haven in the in-between. \nIn the contemporary French-language cultural scene\, literary writing from North Africa stands out for stylistic boldness\, social\, sexual and gender politics\, and tough wrestling with the legacies of colonial history. Emma Ramadan is one of the most highly esteemed translators of writing from Lebanon\, Morocco\, Algeria and Tunisia. “I write in French to tell the French that I am not French\,” say a number of prominent authors\, even as they push and pull and dig into the language of their education\, never letting it be forgotten that Arabic\, with its dialects and sociolects\, as well as the Berber languages\, are ever present—in texture\, rhythm\, allusions\, linguistic ghosts and powerful hauntings. Ramadan will read excerpts from her translations\, including Abdellah Taïa’s A Country for Dying\, Anne Garréta’s In Concrete and Sphinx\, Kamel Daoud’s Zabor\, or the Psalms\, and a co-translation of Marguerite Duras’s Me & Other Writing.
