Giuliana Schiavi"L'incredibile storia di Olaudah Equiano, o Gustavus Vassa, detto l'Africano"Olaudah EquianoOccam Editorehttps://occameditore.itOlaudah Equiano ha undici anni quando viene rapito nel villaggio di Essaka, da qualche parte in Africa occidentale. L'unica vita che conosceva non c'è più: prigioniero su una nave negriera diretta nel Mar dei Caraibi, verrà venduto come schiavo a un capitano della Royal Navy. Inizia così una traversata delle zone di confine fra la vita e la morte in cui la natura umana si manifesta – come forse a nessun'altra latitudine – con assoluta brutalità. Ma Equiano decide di non abbandonarsi alla disperazione. Decide di vivere. Insieme al suo padrone, lascia le Americhe e percorre le vie del mondo: naviga fino in Inghilterra, solca l'Egeo e il Mediterraneo, visita la Turchia, l'Italia, la Spagna, ritorna in Africa, partecipa a una missione diretta al Polo Nord, convinto (con Orazio) che «chi va per mare cambia cielo, non animo». Combatte contro i francesi nella guerra dei Sette anni, commercia rum nelle Indie Occidentali, impara a leggere e riscatta la propria libertà. Questa autobiografia è del 1789. Equiano la scrive per denunciare gli orrori dello schiavismo che oggi, in un mondo di migrazioni irreprimibili, ricordano altri orrori – a noi vicini.A cura di Giuliana SchiaviGiuliana Schiavi insegna Traduzione dall'inglese all'italiano e Teoria della traduzione presso la SSML di Vicenza (di cui è rappresentante legale) dove coordina anche i master di traduzione editoriale e tecnico–scientifica dall'inglese e di traduzione editoriale–letteraria dall'arabo; è stata più volte workshop leader ai seminari di traduzione letteraria del British Centre for Literary Translation della UEA, University of East Anglia, di Norwich, UK.

This Mehfil explores the exciting world of South Asian translation especially the regional and vernacular literature that has lately been garnering international attention and winning prestigious awards. In Translating South Asia, host Amrita Ghosh talks to two renowned translators from the neighboring countries of India and Bangladesh. The conversation is not only about translations from Bengali to English but also the reverse, and how it plays out in the publishing world in the subcontinent. Arunava Sinha and Shabnam Nadiya take us on their journey into how they began translating and how it became a vocation. They speak about their first books of translation and their initial experiences and challenges in the process. They also discuss how the translation scene has changed writing, publishing and readership on the Subcontinent, spaces that were initially reserved for Anglophone works. Nadiya talks about her latest translation of Shaheen Akhtar's rich novel, Shokhi Rongomela into Beloved Rongomela and the challenges she faced, along with some of the decisions she made during the intricate process of creating a Bengali worldview for the Anglophone readership. Ghosh talks to Sinha about his translation of the epic novel Dozakhnama by Rabisankar Bal and the challenges of translating an original consisting of multiple language presences such as Urdu and Bengali. In a rich conversation, the writers also discuss the space of politics within translation, the publishing industry and the importance and the limits of adhering to a political position within a work. The episode ends with Ghosh putting both writers to a quick translation test of the word and concept of “Mehfil!” Shabnam Nadiya is a Bangladeshi writer and translator based in California. A graduate of the Iowa Writers' Workshop, she was awarded the Steinbeck Fellowship (2019); a PEN/Heim Translation Grant (2020); and the 2019 Himal Southasian Short Story Prize. Her work has been published in Joyland, Asymptote, Flash Fiction International, Al Jazeera Online, Pank, Amazon's Day One, Chicago Quarterly Review,  Wasafiri, Words Without Borders, and Gulf Coast. Nadiya's translations include Leesa Gazi's novel Hellfire (Eka/Westland, September, 2020), Moinul Ahsan Saber's novel  The Mercenary (Bengal Lights Books, 2016; Seagull Books, 2018) and Shaheen Akhtar's novel Beloved Rongomala, 2022). Arunava Sinha is Associate Professor of Creative Writing at Ashoka University. He translates classic, modern and contemporary Bengali fiction and nonfiction into English, and from English into Bengali. Over fifty of his translations have been published so far. He has conducted translation workshops at the British Centre for Literary Translation, UEA; University of Chicago; Dhaka Translation Centre; and Jadavpur University.

Conversation between Sarah Bower (Norwich Centre for Writing) and Sarah Ardizzone (French Translator) about translation mentorship at the British Centre for Literary Translation

A pedido de muchas pódcastescuchas en las encuestas que hicimos de las temporadas anteriores, finalmente pudimos juntarnos a charlar con Lucila Cordone. Lucila es argentina y se especializa en traducción de textos literarios y de ciencias sociales para editoriales argentinas. Obtuvo su título de traductora de inglés en el Lenguas Vivas “Juan Ramón Fernández” y, además, realizó estudios de posgrado en Traductología en la Universidad Nacional del Comahue. En cuanto a sus comienzos en el ámbito literario, nos cuenta que se tomó 10 años para escribirle a una editora de la cual tenía el contacto. ¡Diez años! Parece una eternidad, ¿no? Aunque si pensamos en lo que cuesta juntar experiencia y confianza, es superentendible. Cuando Lucila encontró las palabras correctas para acercarse a esta editora, le escribió, tuvo que insistir un poco y finalmente logró que se le abrieran las puertas del mundillo de la traducción literaria del cual ahora forma parte. Dice que el mercado literario no es difícil porque sí, sino que hay que entender que las editoriales hacen una inversión muy grande para traducir un material y quieren estar seguros de a quién se lo encargan. El traductor puede estar trabajando de 3 a 5 meses con un libro, y si después de todo ese tiempo de espera, el resultado no es óptimo, es una gran pérdida de tiempo y de dinero. Por otro lado, dice que con el tiempo se dio cuenta de que no todos los traductores son para todos los libros, que muchas veces uno no siente afinidad con el tema o el estilo del autor, y que si vas a pasar tanto tiempo con esa obra, es mejor que haya compatibilidad. Lucila también es docente de Traducción Literaria en dos instituciones de renombre en Argentina, el Lenguas Vivas Sofía B. de Spangenberg, y el Lenguas Vivas Juan Ramón Fernández. Además, ha dictado cursos para la Universidad de Nueva York, y ha coordinado talleres de traducción con escritores para el British Centre for Literary Translation (Universidad de East Anglia) y para el FILBA (Festival Internacional de Literatura de Buenos Aires). Próximamente, dictará el seminario de Traducción General en la Carrera de Especialización de Traducción Literaria en FFyL (UBA). Como docente de futuros traductores, Lucila cuenta que en la formación tenemos una marcada tendencia a la perfección, a obsesionarnos con una coma, con una palabra, con lo “correcto”, porque está más orientada a la traducción técnica, pero la traducción literaria nos exige soltarnos un poco, ser un poquito más salvajes, “no ser tan buen alumno”, insiste Lucila. Lucila dice que para traducir literatura tenés que poder escuchar la voz narrativa del autor y ser fiel a esa voz. Esto es algo que cuesta entender cuando uno está estudiando, “¿escuchar una voz?”, suena un poco loco. Por eso, desde hace unos años, en las clases de traducción literaria incorporaron ejercicios de escritura creativa. En este sentido, y después de una grata experiencia en la Universidad de East Anglia, en 2011, Lucila creó y actualmente coordina una iniciativa muy interesante: la Escuela de Otoño de Traducción Literaria. Consiste en una semana de convivencia entre un grupo de traductores y el autor al que van a traducir. La coordinación requiere de tramitar subsidios, conseguir al autor que se preste a la experiencia, seleccionar a los participantes, armar actividades extra para esa semana, ¡toda una organización! La participación está abierta a cualquier traductor que se interese por hacerlo, y las organizadoras basan la selección en tres elementos: el CV, una prueba de traducción y una carta de intención. Nos cuenta Lucila que han participado personas de distintas partes de nuestro país y también de otros países de Latinoamérica. La actividad se realiza en las instalaciones del Lenguas Vivas JRF, durante la semana de jornadas profesionales de la Feria del Libro de Buenos Aires, así que pasar por la feria también es parte de toda la experiencia. ¡Suena espectacular!
