Event description:
For the first Directed Studies Colloquium of the fall 2025 semester, we were joined by Erika Valdivieso, Assistant Professor of Classics at Yale who gave a talk designed to usher DS students through the pleasures and perils of reading ancient texts in translation. Part guided discussion, part lecture, the session took the audience through three ways of thinking about translation: as adaptation between media; as a transformation between languages; as an act of transference between cultures.
