Many changes happening this year but one reliable source of joy is 'Talking with Translators', our @inotherwordsbooks.bsky.social series of conversations with translators we admire. Claudia and I recently spoke with @jencalleja.bsky.social and it felt like an absolute dream. Give it a read!

Kate, Claudia, and I dreamt of this together and it has been a delight to meet and discuss Ferrante's work, two summers in a row.

What a great day, full of inspiring conversations about positionality, agency, and intimacy in oral history. I learnt a lot from the keynote speakers and the researchers' projects. Thank you so much to @zsofia-v.bsky.social and @georgiakat.bsky.social for organising it.

As an end-of-year activity, the Working Group visited the Centro di Documentazione Aldo Mieli in Carrara 🏛️ This public LGBTQIA+ archive is run by and grew out of the personal collection of Luca Locati Luciani and welcomes curious researchers and activists.

@zsofia-v.bsky.social and I have put months of effort into this and we can't wait to listen to and learn from our two wonderful keynotes (Dr. Ráhel Katalin Turai and Dr. Natalya Benkhaled-Vince).

You can join us online for the first part of the day. 🎙️

Everything @hhnnccnnll.bsky.social writes is required reading in my eyes!

"But what is the “correct” way to make sense of the relationship of the individual to the historical? Are romances, feelings, and dreams incidental or consequential? What about those of figures about whom no biographies or obituaries were written?"

“When life itself had become a collage in which slivers and scraps floated about, sticking hither and thither as in the aftermath of an explosion, forming and deforming shapes, how could we escape the incomplete, the scattered, the broken?”

Running these four seminars in the Biblioteca Femminista was a joy! 💜

We reflected on feminist translation, the relation between the senses and reading, archives, motherhood, the emancipatory nature of writing about violence...
