The Renaissances Graduate Research Series: Race and Translation
Speakers): Caroline Egan and Larissa Brewer-Garc铆a
Please join us on MONDAY MAY 16 for听鈥淩ace and Translation,鈥 the third event of our Renaissances Graduate Research Series, a series of conversations between advanced Ph.D. students at 黑料百科 and interlocutors of their work.
The event will take place at lunch time听from 12 to 1:30pm, in 260-216.
For our Spring Event, Caroline Egan,听Ph.D. candidate, in the Department of Comparative Literature听at 黑料百科, and听Larissa Brewer-Garc铆a,听Assistant Professor of Latin American Literature, at the University of Chicago, will discuss Egan鈥檚 project: "Blood and Milk: New World Orality in the听Comentarios听reales."
In her dissertation, Egan studies how multilingual actors, particularly mestizos and missionaries, theorized and reinvented indigenous languages in historical, linguistic, lyric, and ethnographic works. This chapter focuses on the historiographic听Royal Commentaries of the Incas听(1609, 1617) by the mestizo writer El Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (1539-1616). In her discussion with Professor Brewer-Garc铆a, Egan wishes to reflect on the relationship between race and acts of translation in early colonial Spanish America.
Caroline Egan and听Larissa Brewer-Garc铆a听will briefly present their听works in progress: selections from听Egan鈥檚 dissertation chapter and Professor听Brewer-Garc铆a鈥檚 paper听鈥淐aptured Tongues: Jesuit Interpreters of the Early Black Atlantic.鈥 These presentations will听set up points of intersection between the two projects听and we will then open the floor to discussion and questions.
We are looking forward to seeing you at the event!
