Though th e poem has apparently been picked clean by critics\, I will argue that its key operation--a translation of Osip Mandelstam (1891-1938) that is far m ore than a translation--has gone unnoticed. Beginning with a very close re ading of the poem itself\, the talk will drive toward a theory of poetic t ranslation that brings together Celan's readings in Kabbalah\, human anato my\, and psychoanalysis.\n\nStephen Ross is associate professor of English at Concordia University and editor of Modernism/modernity. He is the auth or Invisible Terrain: John Ashbery and the Aesthetics of Nature (OUP) and coeditor of Global Modernists on Modernism (Bloomsbury).\n\nCoffee\, tea\, and pastries will be served.\n\nRSVP required: https://forms.office.com/r /DxY4Y6U61q\n DTSTART:20241030T200000Z DTEND:20241030T220000Z SUMMARY:Centuries Surround Me With Fire: On a Late Celan Translation of Man delstam with Stephen Ross (Concordia University) URL:/channels/channels/event/centuries-surround-me-fir e-late-celan-translation-mandelstam-stephen-ross-concordia-university-3587 39 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
