SUMMARY:RESISTING: PATRIARCHAL MISTRANSLATION OF SIKH SACRED TEXT
DESCRIPTION:The Emily Anderson Centre for Translation Research and Practice and The Centre for the Study of Religion invite you to a talk entitled: \nRESISTING: PATRIARCHAL MISTRANSLATION OF SIKH SACRED TEXT  \nHow to translate the terse simplicity and beauty of the Sikh sacred text? A daunting task to begin with\, its English translations have been weighed down by patriarchal interpretations and Christian theological terms that are hard to shake off. For me the translation task mandates a visceral reading of the text\, a sensuous hearing in the original language\, and a real tasting of the lyrics in the mouth. Thus\, we create possibilities for unexpected equivalents that can rebound the intrinsic sound and sense. In my talk I will share the challenges and adventures of translating this sacrosanct literary body nourishing 26 million or more Sikh men and women worldwide. \nAbout:  \nNikky-Guninder Kaur Singh holds the Crawford Family Chair and heads the department of Religious Studies at Colby College\, USA. She has published extensively in the field of Sikh Studies. This year she published two books: Poems from the Sikh Sacred Tradition (Harvard University\, 2023) and Janamsakhi: Early Sikh Art (Roli Publishers\, 2023). Dr. Nikky-Guninder has served on the editorial board of several journals including the History of Religions\, the Journal of the American Academy of Religion\, Sikh Formations\, and CrossCurrents. \n

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Theatre\, Performance and Commemoration: Staging Crisis\, Memory and Nationhood
DESCRIPTION:The theatre section of the ICOG Research Centre for Arts in Society\, University of Groningen is delighted to announce the online book launch by Dr Miriam Haughton (University of Galway)\, Dr Alinne Balduino P. Fernandes (Federal University of Santa Catarina) and Dr Pieter Verstraete (University of Groningen) as part of the SPOT ON series\, of their edited volume: \nTheatre\, Performance and Commemoration: Staging Crisis\, Memory and Nationhood  \n(Bloomsbury/Methuen Drama 2023) ISBN 9781350306769 \n \nHybrid \nWednesday November 22\, 2023\, 16:00-18:00 (CET) \nOude Boteringestraat 34\, 9712 GK Groningen\, Room 002 \nfollowed by drinks \nFor online participation\, please use this link\, password: 0911 \nHow does the act of performance speak to the concept of commemoration? How and why does commemorative theatre operate as a conceptual\, historical and political site from which to interrogate ideas of nationalism and nationhood? This volume explores how theatre and performance create a stage for acts of commemoration\, considering crises of hate\, nationalism and migration\, as well as political\, racial and religious bigotry. It features case studies drawn from across Europe\, the Middle East\, Asia\, Africa and Latin America. \nDuring the book launch\, the editors will first highlight key insights and backgrounds of this volume. Dr Pieter Verstraete will then present his chapter on Turkey’s Kurdish Question in European opera by means of the first Kurdish opera adaptation of Puccini’s Tosca by Theater RAST and Diyarbakir City Theatre\, which premiered at ITA in 2019. The chapter explores music theatre’s role in ‘mnemonic socialization’ and the making of ‘inoperative’ communities in culturally heterogeneous audiences. He will question the risk of such critical commemorative music theatre practices of falling into the traps of creating new myths for the sake of propaganda and a memory industry in the wake of crises of nationalism. Finally\, there will be room for a Q&A and a celebration of the book with some of its contributors. \nFind out more at: SPOT ON-Book Launch Invitation
