Translating the Memory of Migration
Professor Loredana Polezzi gave a lecture entitled “Between Trauma and Desire: Translating the Memory of Migration” at the Faculty of Philology and Translation in Vigo, on 30 Nov 2017. The talk was directly linked to the doctoral seminar (actividade formativa de doutoramento) “The Representation of Conflicts: An Introduction to Trauma and Memory in Texts”, co-taught by Dr. Teresa Caneda and Dr. Martín Urdiales. This seminar approaches the representation of traumatic events such as the Irish Famine and the Holocaust which implied forms of enforced mobility and have become associated with cultural memory/ies.
