Carnaval Fever: Storytelling & Translation

4:30 PM ET

Sponsored by:: Black Studies, Luso-Hispanic Studies, and Latin American & Caribbean Studies

On the eve of the English language publication of her debut novel, Afro-Ecuadorian writer, poet, teacher and DJ, Yuliana Ortiz Ruano will be joined by her literary agent, Elianna Kan ‘10.5, in a broad-ranging conversation about translation. They will discuss the literal process of Yuliana’s experience working with a translator to convey her novel from Spanish into English, as well as translation across media: how does Yuliana approach the work of translating carnaval—its movements and sounds—from the corporeal experience into words?
