[Richard Deming]

Dear Friends,

just a reminder that we will meet for our first session of the smester  
today at 3 in rm 116 of the Whitney Humanities Center. Today poet/ 
translator/publisher/man of letters Keith Waldrop will join us for a  
discussion of his work.

The session is open to all.


And I post below an announcement of an upcoming talk by our own lovely  
and talented Lucas Klein.


Until soon,
Richard Deming, Minister of Information


+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Next Wednesday, February 3rd at 5:30 in HGS 312, Lucas Klein be giving  
a talk  titled “Foreign Echoes & Discerning the Soil: A Look at  
Chinese Poetry, World Literature, and Dual Translation Then and Now.”

In this talk, Lucas will attempt to define World Literature, how it  
has shaped and been shaped by Chinese poetry in the 20thcentury and in  
the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907), and what translation and translation  
studies can tell us about the economics and politics of literary  
production and consumption in a global perspective. Plus, Lucas will  
do it all through close-reading and contextualizing specific poems in  
an effort to encompass the argument of my dissertation in under 35  
minutes.
