Please join the CMS Narratives Group on Tuesday, January 27th at 2:30 PM PT for a presentation by Ana Carol Mesquita on “Ancestral Future and Shamanic Translation as Cosmopolitics in the Anthropocene”.
Ana Carolina Mesquita (she/her) is a Brazilian writer and translator who is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Alberta (Edmonton, Canada) with a grant from FAPESP, investigating exophonic practices in contemporary literature. In 2017, she spent four months at Columbia University, studying the manuscripts of Virginia Woolf’s diary for her PhD research, which resulted in the first complete translation of Woolf’s diary into Portuguese and the first in the world to be rendered in consonance with the diary’s original form.
