10:15, HHU, 23.21.02.22
In this workshop, the Anglistik V team will come together to discuss translation at the interface of ecocriticism and postcolonialism. What, we will ask ourselves, are the ethical implications of translating nature and how are literary descriptions of nature interwoven with colonial histories? What are strategies to make visible the colonial routes of ‘natural’ environments and what affordances do translations offer in this endeavour?
