WITMonth2024 (3).mp4
Ten years ago, blogger and academic Meytal Radzinski took a critical look at the publishing landscape and noticed that the world of translated literature was heavily male-dominated. Women authors' works comprised less than 30 percent of the books translated into English. Reflecting on this gender disparity and wanting to create change, Radzinski started Women in Translation Month, which has grown into a global movement that celebrates the voices of women writers worldwide.
This August, we invite you to explore works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry by women whose work has been translated into English. https://buff.ly/3M0KBwI National Translation Month - NTM American Literary Translators Association (ALTA) Columbia Granger's World of Poetry #ReadTheWorld #Translation #WomenInTranslationMonth #WITMonth #WomenWriters #AsianLiterature #RussianLiterature #SpanishLiterature #HispanicLiterature #Poetry #PoetryInTranslation

"Poetry, like alchemy, can promise a material wealth it never quite delivers, transmutation through words, and the power to turn paupers into patrons, but most often promises an alchemy of the soul that strives toward a higher form."—Roque Raquel Salas Rivera, translator of THE BOOK OF CONJURATIONS https://buff.ly/3JH8icg #PoetryMonth #Poetry #Translation #HispanicLiterature
Teaching About Climate Change.mp4
"While many uncertainties still remain about climate change and its impacts on our futures, not all hope is lost: there is still time...he four pillars of sustainable development—good governance, social outcomes (education and health), the environment, and economic systems—are a good example of systems thinking in action and how potential solutions to complex environmental challenges are a mesh of interwoven strategies that cut across sectors. Simply put, systems thinking can help us recognize that climate change, both its challenges and solutions, are all interconnected pieces that interact with one another."—Cassie Xu and Radhika Iyengar https://buff.ly/3UzCjB1 #EarthMonth #ClimateChange @Columbia @columbiaclimate

"...Chinese being a tonal language—as Japanese is not—demands tonal euphony in the lines and couplets of its poetry. To master these aspects of Chinese poetics was a most daunting challenge..."—Jonathan Chaves #Poetry #ChineseLiterature #JapaneseAuthors https://buff.ly/3JFaFwp
The Same Moon Shines on All.mp4
"The scope of the category “Japanese literature” is very differently conceptualized than it was just a generation ago; it now embraces a much broader range of forms and genres, incorporating many more texts written outside Japan, and including works composed by non-Japanese individuals, for example. Perhaps even more fundamentally, there has been a dramatic rise in interest in what is now called kanshibun (Sinitic poetry and prose), works composed in literary Chinese, the shared written language of the Sinographic sphere."—Matthew Fraleigh https://buff.ly/4d7Y0zs #Poetry #PoetryMonth #JapaneseLiterature #ChinesePoetry
André Colomer.mp4
"In the early twentieth century, a young, heterogeneous, and radical movement arose in Europe to drastically challenge the relationship between revolutionary politics, the arts, and beauty itself. And André Colomer, a poet laden with intense sensitivity, would explode onto the scenes this movement offered to grow to be one of the foremost theoreticians of anarchist individualism of his era, never losing sight of his poetic roots."—Oskar De Wolf https://buff.ly/3y1ZFq8 #Poetry #Philosophy #PoetryMonth

The Power of the Shuar.mp4
"The ongoing loss of these old growth forests has intensified the biodiversity crisis and accelerated climate change....Against this grim tableau of environmental destruction, the abilities of small groups of Indigenous peoples to preserve forests have stood out as examples of how to conserve natural resources."—Thomas K. Rudel https://buff.ly/3w3fwEj #EarthDay #Reforestation
The Mediated Climate.mp4
"In THE MEDIATED CLIMATE, I document many challenges faced by environmental activists. When protests heated up, the groups I studied often faced abuse by law enforcement. This was especially the case with the Indigenous-led movement to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline. Police and private security officers used rubber bullets, water cannons, tear gas, and attack dogs on demonstrators. To conceal their rough tactics, they also convinced the Federal Aviation Administration to set up an ad hoc temporary flight restriction over a four-mile radius surrounding the Standing Rock protests, to keep activists from documenting the scene with drone cameras.
But the more quotidian injustices against activists occur as they navigate the media environment. Online and in legacy media, activists face harassment, threats, and misrepresentation, among other efforts to silence, intimidate, and belittle them."—Adrienne Russell https://buff.ly/3U7JJKp #EarthDay #Media #ClimateChange
A Spark in the Smokestacks.mp4
When author Jean Lin approached first-time homeowners of newly built gated communities in Beijing regarding their protests against overflowing landfills and waste incinerator construction plans, she was struck by the in-depth environmental information compiled and organized by the elderly retirees, civil servants, and office workers living in the communities. How did these newly built gated communities become wellsprings for environmental organization in the most unlikely of places—China?
