Resounding Bodies: Ecopoetics, Listening and Translation

Description

The challenge for humans in a time of crises for the climate and biological diversity is to change our thinking, to decentre ourselves and understand our place in continuity with the world and what’s in it. How can experimental practices of poetry and translation enable different kinds of listening – and therefore new kinds of community – across the boundaries of languages, species, and forms of knowledge? Professor Zoë Skoulding will draw on examples from her own writing and translation to explore poetry’s acoustic context and what this means for ecological relationships.
