    Jameel Library | The Task of the Translator Research Lab

    The Jameel Library is hosting a week-long research lab developed and facilitated by Sarasija Subramanian.

    The lab focuses on unpacking translation as both tool and process, particularly on the fantasy of equivalence in translated material—assumptions based on the fact that nothing is lost (or gained, for that matter) during the process. Participants will engage with the possibilities of translation—more specifically the relationship between translation and accessibility—as a way to watch, listen to, and read material closely. The week consists of collective reading, watching, and listening sessions of resources that address these ideas in an expanded sense, along with prompt-based exercises that help us think through language, the fallacy of equivalence, subjectivity, and the role that the “original” plays in our worlds.

    Jameel Library Summer Reading Challenge

    Jameel Library invites you to build a relationship with the library through curiosity, discovery, and spending time exploring its resources. This challenge celebrates the moments you spend here cultivating new interests and passions rather than the number of books you finish.

     

    Throughout July and August, participants will receive prizes based on the number of hours they spend at Jameel Library, turning every visit into a small seed planted among the shelves, and nurtured with every new visit.

    Visit the library during its opening hours to start the challenge!
