In the second event of our translation series, Prof. Wei Ran will be exploring the “Latin American Thought Translation Series” as a case study for remapping the relations between China and the world. He will discuss the selection and translation of Latin American texts by the contemporary Chinese academic community, which followed a shift from the revolutionary paradigm of translation to the paradigm of modernization since the 1980s. The talk will be followed by a Q&A.

All are welcome to join!

Wei Ran is an Associate Professor of the Institute of Foreign Literature (IFL), Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). Ph.D. in the Institute for Comparative Literature and Culture at Peking University, he has published and translated widely on cross-cultural humanistic exchanges between China and Latin America, including translations of Walter Mignolo and Gabriel García Márquez, among others.

Before embarking on complex sociocultural histories of fatness, beauty, disability, neurodivergence, and queer representation, the first seminar in the Body Liberation & Feminism series deals with the notion of the self, and by extension, the other. How does your ethnicity, nationality, gender, sexual or romantic orientation, faith, education, body type, and other identity markers influence who you are? What impact do these markers have in defining and predicting your social position in different contexts? In what ways are you privileged or marginalised by these converging identities? Join us on Zoom to participate in an interactive workshop led by some of your favorite professors and peers where you can learn more about these questions through fun activities and group discussions!
