<h3>EUTERPE Spring School Lecture</h3> All are welcome to the opening evening of the EUTERPE York-Coventry Spring School, setting the tone for a week of events with an evening on the joys and challenges of translating multilingual authors and texts. Dr Nicoletta Asciuto (Department of English and Related Literature) will talk about her interest in recuperating early twentieth-century women authors through translation, and her recently published Italian translation of Hope Mirrlees’s Paris: A Poem (1920). Dr Boriana Alexandrova (Centre for Women’s Studies and Department of English &amp; Related Literature) will discuss the power and peculiarity of infamously impenetrable multilingual texts, like James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake (1939), and archives, such as the messy and marvellous post-war archive of Surrealist queer couple and anti-Nazi Resistance fighters, Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore.The event will be chaired by EUTERPE doctoral candidate Alice Flinta (Centre for Women’s Studies) and feature Prof Kimberly Campanello (University of Leeds) as guest interlocutor.The conversation will be followed by a wine reception and multilingual reading of Hope Mirrlees’s Paris / Parigi in English, French, and Italian, by Nicoletta Asciuto, Enora Le Roux and Zoé Porchet.This event will be followed by a wine reception.<a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/books-768125/" title="https://www.pexels.com/photo/books-768125/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Photo</a> by Emily* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *If you require more than 5 tickets, please <a href="mailto:publiclectures@york.ac.uk" title="mailto:publiclectures@york.ac.uk" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">contact the Events Team</a> who will be happy to help.Please ensure you use the correct email address as this is where your ticket will be sent.
