Title

No Friend But Mountains: Translation as Literary Experimentation and Shared Philosophical Activity

Author / Creator

Omid Tofighian

Description or Abstract

The Center for Translation Studies presents an interdisciplinary lecture by Omid Tofighian, Assistant Professor of Philosophy at AUC, in virtual conversation with Behrouz Boochani, a Kurdish-Iranian scholar, writer and filmmaker, who is currently a political prisoner incarcerated by the Australian government on Manus Island. In his collaborative talk, Tofighian not only discusses Boochani’s book - the main theme of which is the notion of systematic torture – but seeks to shed light on the understudied issue of migration and border politics in Australia more generally.
