Event

Under the same sun: Publishing and Performing Latin American Translations in New York

RSVP

This half-day symposium brings together poets, critics, editors, and translators to explore the recent surge of independent publishers in New York focusing on Latin American literature—not only in English translation but also in the region’s original languages, with a global scope. In two panels, participants will discuss: How do Spanish-language publishers engage U.S. audiences? How can translators and publishers prioritize indigenous languages and nonstandard Spanish and Portuguese? How does literature transition from the page to the classroom and public performances? The event will conclude with a reception and a book fair.
Hosted by Liberal Studies and the Minor in Translation Studies, in partnership with the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and with the generous support of the Liberal Studies Program Events Committee, the Instituto Cervantes in New York, Espacio de Culturas @ KJCC, the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Sundial House, and Transverse.
