SUMMARY:Global Language Justice Mellon Sawyer Seminar: Translating m
 igration: art\, ethics and uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:In order to translate others\, translators and interpreters m
 ust locate themselves within the translation process\, doing 
 their best to recognize the stories it is their task to repr
 esent. Professor Inghilleri’s lecture will discuss the ch
 allenges they face putting into words the structures of feel
 ing underlying different types of migration experience. She
  will be proposing a commonality between translators and int
 erpreters who struggle to represent and express human comple
 xity in words and visual artists who strive to reflect the h
 uman condition in their art\, taking as examples two mid-twen
 tieth century New York artists\, Jacob Lawrence and Willem De
  Kooning\, who in different ways explored the experience of m
 igration. She will also present historical and recent exampl
 es of migrant-produced art that fall under the category of c
 itizen media by migrants held in long term detention facilit
 ies. The paper will conclude by arguing for an expansion of 
 the horizon of translation practice to wider forms of symbol
 ic expression\, to allow language in all its forms to serve a
 s a better tool to capture complex meanings.
