Second Tuesday: Translation

  • Dornsife Center for Community Partnerships 3509 Spring Garden Street Philadelphia, PA, 19104 United States (map)

Join us for our monthly workshops at the Dornsife Center! Free and open to all, with community dinner immediately following.

This month’s theme is Translation:

The meaning of our writing doesn’t survive only by the definitions of the words we use. Sometimes to get the idioms, you have to learn the whole language. A translation is always a matter of interpretation: it’s not a copy, it’s something brand new. You know that feeling when you’re trying to retell a story but it’s like…you had to be there? All writers translate, even the ones who only work in one language.
