SUMMARY:New Frontiers for Arabic Literature & Translation
DESCRIPTION:This special event taking place as part of the Dubai Expo is for literary translators\, publishers\, writers and other professionals involved in Arabic literature and translation. \nExpert speakers from the UK and the UAE will explore and analyse the contemporary translation scene from a range of international and professional perspectives. Publishers and literature professionals involved in translation from Arabic into English and English into Arabic will offer insight into the opportunities and challenges they face in platforming new work and reaching their readerships. \nWe will examine the opportunities for Arabic literature in translation in the publishing marketplace\, consider the challenges faced by practitioners when seeking outlets for their work\, and examine how developmental models can both support translators in their creative practice and open up professional networks. The speakers will reflect on recent changes in how Arabic literature is received\, celebrated and platformed\, and consider where current trends may lead us in the years to come. \nThe panel is divided into two parts: The Business of Translation and Nurturing a Developmental Landscape. \nPart 1: The Business of Translation  \nModerated by Sawad Hussain (in-person) \nSpeakers: \n– Ahmed Al Ali\, Managing Editor\, Kalimat \n– Juliet Mabey\, Publisher\, Oneworld Publications (remote) \n– Mayada Ibrahim\, Translator (remote) \nBreak  \nPart 2: Nurturing a Developmental Landscape  \nModerated by Sawad Hussain (in-person) \nSpeakers: \n– Ahlam Balooki\, Director\, Emirates Airline Festival of Literature (in-person) \n– Najwa Bin Shatwan\, Writer (in person) \n– Katharine Halls\, Translator (remote) \n– Will Mackie\, Senior Programme Manager\, New Writing North (remote speaker) \nRead more about the speakers here.  \n  \nThis event will be of interest to students\, translators\, academics\, curators\, cultural policy makers\, and anyone with an interest in the business of how literature travels from one language to another. \nThis event has been curated by New Writing North\, a UK-based literature development agency\, working with the British Council. The event is funded by the British Council.

SUMMARY:What Does It Take to Translate the Intangible?
DESCRIPTION:Much of what translators work on doesn’t involve “meaning” in the dictionary sense. How do practitioners handle intangibles like rhyme\, alliteration and assonance\, naturalness\, concision\, and other elements of both poetic and prose texts? The lyrical force and emotional impact of many texts require acrobatic feats to successfully exist in multiple languages. Kareem James Abu-Zeid and Alta L. Price will explore approaches to prioritizing what’s most important when honing the vision for your translation. \nThe Literary Translation Clinics are held monthly and hosted by members of the translator collective\, Cedilla & Co. Each one-hour clinic will feature a presentation or conversation followed by a Q&A. Attendees are encouraged to bring questions from their own practice.
