SUMMARY:Central Asian Literature in Translation
DESCRIPTION:Central Asian literature remains one of the most vibrant yet underrepresented bodies of writing in world literature today. In this interactive workshop\, translator Shelley Fairweather-Vega will explore how literature from Central Asia finds its way into English translation and why many important works still remain unknown to global readers. \n \nThe workshop will examine the often invisible processes that shape literary translation today: how certain works are selected for translation\, how publishers decide what to publish\, who reviews and reads translated literature\, and how literary prizes\, grants\, and institutions influence which voices become visible internationally. \nParticipants will also take part in an open discussion about the future of translating Central Asian and world literature. \nThis workshop welcomes everyone interested in world literature\, translation\, and global cultural exchange. You do not need prior experience in translation to participate. Students\, scholars\, translators\, and anyone curious about literature across languages are warmly invited.

SUMMARY:The AI Con: Emily M. Bender in Conversation with Shelley Fairweather-Vega
DESCRIPTION:Folio: The Seattle Athenaeum is delighted to welcome two Seattle authors at the intersection of language and technology for a timely conversation on the hype and realities of Artificial Intelligence.  \nDr. Emily M. Bender is a Professor of Linguistics at the University of Washington and co-author of The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want\, a practical guide to seeing through AI hype\, questioning who benefits from it\, and imagining a better path forward. Shelley Fairweather-Vega is the English-language translator of Hamid Ismailov’s We Computers\, a novel in which a French poet builds a computer program capable of analyzing and generating literature\, a story that uncannily anticipates our current moment. \nTogether\, they explore the difference between pattern recognition and meaning\, “ghosts” in the machine\, and what literature\, including a novel written decades ago\, can teach us about the seduction of alleged artificial intelligence.
