Translation on Tap in NYC, Nov. 16 – 30, 2015

Early November was crowded with events, and now we’re settling in for a calmer end of month, but you won’t want to miss this:

Thursday, Nov. 19:

A Public Space presents translator Aviya Kushner talking about her new book The Grammar of God, an investigation of the Hebrew Bible and how language shapes belief, looking at (among other things) lots of different Bible translations. I heard her talking about some of this at ALTA the other week, and it was truly fascinating. More information here. A Public Space, 323 Dean St., Brooklyn, 7:00 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 21:

Translation Matters: A star-studded team of translators and translation scholars/theorists gather to discuss “translation as a psychic, aesthetic, and cultural phenomenon.” With David Bellos, Bella Brodzki, Suzanne Jill Levine, Mark Polizzotti, and Michelle Woods. More information here. The Helix Center, 247 E. 82nd St., 2:30 – 4:30 p.m.
