Noémie Grunenwald on Feminist Translation as Political Act at Babel Festival
During the Babel Festival in Bellinzona, Switzerland, translator Noémie Grunenwald will explore the themes of feminist translation and fluid literature. Born in 1987, she has translated works from authors such as bell hooks and Dorothy Allison. Grunenwald is the founder of Hystériques & AssociéEs and has written 'Sur les bouts de la langue. Traduire en féministe/s' (La Contre-Allée, 2024). She will join Carla Demierre and Johnny L. Bertolio on September 19 at 5:30 PM at Officina Nephos. Grunenwald believes that translation is a collaborative act of creating meaning, asserting that the arrangement of words shapes understanding.
