Event overview
This one day symposium organised by the AHRC Research Network (Behind the Looking-Glass: 'Other Cultures within' Translating Cultures) will take place on Wednesday 4 April 2012 at the John W Kluge Center, Library of Congress in Washington.
How do practices and theories relating to the nation and transnational flows, movements, and institutions function to include/exclude communities-for instance, diasporic communities. How have ideas of creolization, multiculturalism, interculturality contributed to (or limited) possibilities, and what do they promise for the future? What role does intercultural translation that is attentive to "other cultures within" play?
How do we carry on the urgent re-configuring required to address these crucial challenges in the present?
Among the speakers at this symposium are scholar/activists from the US, the UK, Brazil, the Caribbean Islands, Ethiopia, Greece, Italy, and Peru as well as leaders from the National Archives, several of the Smithsonian Institution's Museums, the Kluge Center, and the D.C. community.
