Episode Synopsis

When reading a text in translation are you reading the author’s writing or the translator’s writing? 
Listen to this thought-provoking conversation in which author Claudia Hamm and translator Johnny Becker discuss Claudia's essay entitled, “Who does a translated text belong to?” published in Germany's leading intellectual review Merkur in April 2018. In this rich discussion our guests and hosts address issues of equivalency and voice in translation. This episode invites you to explore how to approach translated texts from a new perspective.
