Rough Translation – Grob gesagt: Krieg Edition 3 with Kateryna Kalytko (Recording in Ukrainian & German)

War, writes Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, is the allegorical name for an extreme form of untranslatability. Despite this, or precisely because of it, it is the attempt that counts; the ongoing attempt of translation, a translation that always remains unrealised. At the event, Ukrainian poets will read and discuss. They will be broadcast live from Ukraine and the event will be transmitted to the Auditorium of the Angewandte.
