In Conversation Series: In Between Spaces in Translation

Using The House on Mango Street as a starting point, four faculty members—Carla Giaudrone, Keith Green, Ophelia Hostetter, and Silvia Perez-Cortes—will explore the connections between identity, language, and environment. This discussion will consider what it means for a seminal work of Chicano literature to be composed in English, the complexities of translating it into Spanish, and how place—whether urban landscapes or cultural spaces—shapes the narratives we create.

Refreshments will be provided. Enter at the rear door of the Writers House and proceed up the stairs to room 202. Registration is encouraged.
