ZIZANIES – CONVERSATION WITH CLARA SCHULMANN & LAUREN ELKIN

  • Institut français du Royaume-Uni (map)

In a conversation with writer and translator Lauren Elkin, art critic Clara Schulmann will be discussing the rich voices that inspired her narrative essay Zizanies, which will be published in English later this year. Within the context of her academic research, Schulmann was driven to explore the polyphony of female voices of novelists, theorists, friends, strangers: Donna Haraway, Vinciane Despret, Nathalie Quintane, Valeria Luiselli, Chris Kraus, Denise Riley, Mary Anne Doane, Susan Howe and many more.

Jenny Higgins, Natasha Lehrer and Naima Rashid, three of the translators of the English version, will be reading extracts from this empowering essay.
