SUMMARY:Syrian Arts and Culture Festival 2022
DESCRIPTION:SACF is a multidisciplinary arts festival showcasing Syria’s vibrant arts and culture. Our curated multi-disciplinary programme of events offers a creative collision of film\, music\, performance\, visual arts and talks. The festival brings together established alongside emerging artists\, filmmakers\, performers\, and musicians to offer London audiences alternative narratives and perspectives on Syria\, its people\, and culture. \nThis year’s inaugural festival offers a platform to showcase a rich and exciting body of artistic output and creative expression that sheds light on Syria’s historical\, economic\, social\, political and cultural specificities. It presents a multitude of entry points through which to approach and reflect on present-day Syria\, pitting the richness and diversity of Syria\, along with its local intricacies\, against the uniformity portrayed by the global media and its images. Such an assemblage of works then necessarily points towards the plurality of the people and modes of existence that have constituted the formation of Syria since its independence in 1946. \nCheck out the full programme\, including some online events\, here.

SUMMARY:Roundtable: The role of translation from and into Arabic in the dissemination of knowledge in the sciences
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies at Heriot-Watt University invites you to celebrate International Arabic Day by joining our roundtable focusing on the role of translation from and into Arabic in the dissemination of knowledge in the sciences \nThis event is organised by Dr Khadidja Merakchi and Ms Fanny Chouc who have the pleasure to host\, virtually\, the following distinguished speakers: \nDr Ali Almanaa\, Associate professor\, Department of Translation and Interpreting Studies\, College of Humanities and Social Sciences\, Hamad Bin Khalifa University\, Qatar; \nMr Driss Aboulhoucine\, Coordinator\, Translation and Interpretation Services\, World Health Organisation\, Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean\, Egypt; \nDr Fayza El-Kacem\, Professor in Translation Studies\, Ecole Supérieure de l’Interprétariat et de la Traduction\, Université de la Sorbonne nouvelle\, Paris 3\, France ; \nDr Layla Al Musawi\, Program manager for Publicizing and Dissemination of Science and Technology\, Scientific Culture Directorate\, Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences\, Kuwait; \nDr Mohammad Al Refaei\, Resident Physician\, Internal Medicine at Aleppo University Hospital\, Syria\, Science Writer at Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences; \nMr Nawaar Sobh\, Translator and editor\, Altaqa.net\, Syria; \nDr Rana Dajani\, Professor at the Hashemite University\, Jordan\, President of the Society for Advancement of Science and Technology in the Arab World. \nTranslation has played and continues to play a pivotal role in the dissemination of scientific knowledge. One of the greatest examples is the translation movement from Latin and Ancient Greek into Arabic and from Arabic into other European languages which played an undeniable role in the development of the sciences geographically in Europe and historically in the Renaissance era (Montgomery 2000\, Salama-Carr 1990\, 2009). It is also widely recognised that translation from European languages\, mainly French\, as a global lingua franca\, into Arabic\, at the beginning of the 19th century played a similar role in the Arabic renaissance (Al-Nahda) in the Arab-speaking world. \nOn this International Arabic Day\, we would like to reflect on the role of translation in knowledge dissemination and highlight the role of translation from and into Arabic in disseminating and cross-fertilising scientific knowledge. We would like also to acknowledge the impact of this translation activity in enriching the Arabic language. \nOur speakers are invited to share their knowledge and personal experiences concerning the impact of translation from and into Arabic in the dissemination of science and in enriching the Arabic language. \nInterpreting services available in Arabic\, BSL\, English\, French and Spanish.

SUMMARY:Jonathan Smolin + Alaa Al Aswany discuss "I Do Not Sleep"
DESCRIPTION:Jonathan Smolin and Alaa Al Aswany discuss (the late) Ihsan Abdel Kouddous’ novel\, “I Do Not Sleep”\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIhsan Abdel Kouddous (1919-1990) was an iconic\, hugely important writer in Egypt and beyond\, during his lifetime and beyond. The author of numerous major novels\, his work has been too little known in English and to readers here. Thanks to translator Jonathan Smolin\, professor of Asian Studies at Dartmouth and translator from the Arabic of other such writers as Abdelilah Hamdouchi and Youssef Fadel\, his work is now more readily available\, this in the form of I Do Not Sleep (American University of Cairo Press)\, a sixty-year-old novel which shocked readers when it first appeared in the 1950s. Betrayal\, desire\, and family drama are all part of this\, the narrative being in the form of a letter written by a central protagonist. “What sets Ihsan Abdel Kouddous apart is his ability to combine\, on the page\, the different overlapping threads of politics and society.”―Al-Shorouk. \nSlated to be with Jonathan Smolin to discuss I Do Not Sleep is Alaa Al Aswany\, one of the most acclaimed writers – Egyptian and otherwise – working today. His novels include The Yacoubian Building\, Chicago\, and\, most recently\, The Automobile Club of Egypt.​​ The recipient of numerous international literary awards\, he has had his books translated into over thirty languages. . \nAbdel Kouddous’s masterpiece\, لا أنام\, was adapted into a classic of Egyptian cinema in 1957\, and its publication for the first time in English as I Do Not Sleep\, translated by Jonathan Smolin (published by Hoopoe/AUC Press) is an international publishing event. \nJonathan Smolin is the Jane and Raphael Bernstein Professor in Asian Studies at Dartmouth College in the US. He is the author of Moroccan Noir: Police\, Crime\, and Politics in Popular Culture (2013)\, and the translator of several works of Arabic fiction. He lives in Hanover\, NH.
