About
Vision
"Cast as an act of love, and as an act of disruption, translation becomes a means of repositioning the subject in the world and in history; a means of rendering self-knowledge foreign to itself; a way of denaturalizing citizens, taking them out of the comfort zone of national space, daily ritual, and pre-given domestic arrangements. […]
Translation is a significant medium of subject re-formation and political change."
Emily Apter, The Translation Zone
Mission
The translation zone is a peaceful space dedicated to translators of literary works.
Away from everyday life, translators can enjoy a quiet and timeless environment to focus on their projects.
The translation zone also offers a space for translators to collaborate with writers on translation projects.
Readings and talks are organized on a regular basis.
