Translation Infrastructures and the Politics of Publishing Western Theory in Iran: Fall 2021 Colloquium Series

When

3 p.m., Oct. 10, 2021

To better understand how and why knowledge travels, I take the moment of transfer via translation and publication in Iran as the starting point for ethnographic inquiry. Based on fieldwork in Tehran from 2012-2014, I examine "translation infrastructures" - those processes, institutions, and social networks through which translations are produced and disseminated as book-objects.

This talk will be given by Hosna Sheikholeslami, Associate Professor, Department of Anthropology and Sociology at Denison University.

This even will be held over Zoom.
