SUMMARY:African Studies Global Virtual Forum: Decoloniality and Southern Epistem
	ologies—Kathryn Batchelor
DESCRIPTION:\nTitle: “Decolonial and Postcolonial Perspectives on Transl
	ation”\n\nAbstract:  This talk seeks to stage a critical conversation be
	tween postcolonial and decolonial frameworks using their shared interest
	 in translation theory and practice. Decolonial scholars have tended to 
	stress the distinctiveness of their own work\, presenting it as moving b
	eyond postcolonialism. Decoloniality’s criticism of postcolonial transla
	tion scholarship fits this overall trend\, yet on closer examination see
	ms difficult to justify. In this talk\, I interrogate Walter Mignolo and
	 Freya Schiwy’s (2003) ready dismissal of Lydia Liu and Tejaswini Niranj
	ana\, exploring how Liu and Niranjana incorporate questions of power and
	 directionality firmly into their theorizations of translation in a way 
	that seems fully compatible with decoloniality. I also place Mignolo and
	 Schiwy’s claims about the radical newness of decolonial translation pra
	ctices under the spotlight\, questioning their suggestion that the Zapat
	istas’ syncretic (‘decolonial’) translation approach marks a radical bre
	ak with previous translation practice. This involves comparing it with t
	he innovations of African and Indian authors\, as highlighted in\, inter
	 alia\, Post-colonial Translation: Theory and Practice (Bassnett and Tri
	vedi\, 1999).\n\nBio: Kathryn Batchelor is professor of translation stud
	ies at UCL\, United Kingdom. She is the author of  Translation and Parat
	exts (2018) and Decolonizing Translation (2009/2014)\, and has co-edited
	 six volumes of essays\, including Intimate Enemies: Translation in Fran
	cophone Contexts (2013\, with Claire Bisdorff)\,  Translating Frantz Fan
	on across Continents and Languages (2017\, with Sue-Ann Harding)\, and T
	ranslation\, Trouvailles (2023\, with Chantal Wright). Kathryn’s primary
	 research interests lie in translation theory\, postcolonial translation
	\, translation history\, and translation philosophy.\n\nFor more details
