Interpretation and Translation

**A bilingual poetry reading and translation talk with Arianna Afsari** Join us for an evening of poetry to celebrate the bilingual publication of Juan Gelman's Notes / Notas translated by Arianna Afsari and Silvia R. Tandeciarz. Notes / Notas (published by the87press) captures the sorrow and violence of Argentina's 1976 military dictatorship; translated for the first time into English, this collection is renowned for its linguistic innovation. Translator Arianna Afsari will read from the collection and participate in a discussion about Gelman's poetics and the experience of translating these prescient poems. **[ORDER THE BOOK HERE](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/notes-notas/)** **About the speaker:** **Arianna Afsari** is a translator and doctoral candidate in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor). She examines Argentine militant poetry of the 1960s and 70s alongside traditions of Persian militant poetics deployed as tools of anticolonial resistance. Afsari works across three languages: Persian, Spanish, and Russian. As a translator, she has published English translations of selected poems and a preface from Juan Gelman’s book, Dibaxu, in the literary translation journal, Absinthe: World Literature in Translation (December 2023).

La Sandra i el Mateo estan casats “sobre el paper”: ella és de Barcelona i ell, xilè. El seu matrimoni neix d’un pacte d’amistat per protegir-se d’un sistema que els aboca a la precarietat i a les lleis injustes. Van fer aquest pacte d’honor. I ho van fer per amor. Però sostenir aquesta ficció acaba posant en risc allò més fràgil: el seu vincle. Quan, després d’un temps distanciats, la Sandra li demana un favor èticament qüestionable, tots dos es veuen obligats a encarar preguntes incòmodes sobre el deute, la responsabilitat i el sentit de la seva relació. Encara són amics? **DEA ORIGINAL** Cia Amalgama i Eu Manzanares **AUTORIA I DIRECCIÓ** Eu Manzanares **INTERPRETACIÓ** Nicolás Fuentes González i Laura Riera Idioma: Català Durada: 1h 15m.

A classic film presented in two parts with an intermission. Silent tragedy becomes a gripping story of desire and destruction. G. W. Pabst’s Pandora’s Box (Die Büchse der Pandora) follows Lulu, played by Louise Brooks, whose charm and sensuality unsettle both men and women around her. Countess Geschwitz stands out as one of early cinema’s first explicitly queer female characters, portrayed with striking depth for its time. As Lulu’s relationships spiral into obsession, jealousy, and violence, she drifts through a series of increasingly precarious situations. 4th June, 7 p.m. (doors open at 6.30) El Teatro Metamorfosis - Carrer de Tapioles, 12 🎟 **[TICKETS](https://entradium.com/es/events/live-music-silent-cinema-pandora-s-box-1929)** This screening is brought to life with a live performance by a DJ and a cello player, blending electronic textures with rich, resonant strings to reshape the film’s emotional intensity. A unique fusion of classic cinema and contemporary sound: expect a full emotional rollercoaster on a night when silent film finds a new voice.

**Aquesta activitat té un aforament limitat i les places s'assignen a través del sistema d'inscripció de Meetup. Les places obtingudes es reservaran fins al dia de la trobada al moment en què el grup hagi seleccionat el tema de debat. Si arribeu més tard d'aquell moment, la vostra plaça podrà ser cedida a una altra persona.** Hola i benvinguts al nostre proper Meetup de filosofia de Sòcrates Cafè! Vols una comprensió més profunda de tu mateix i del món? Valores el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós? Si és així, aquesta trobada serà molt interessant per a tu. Es tracta d'una reunió bilingüe; on podrem intervenir tant en català com en espanyol. **ON ENS TROBEM?** Café de l'Opera (NOMES 3 ABRIL!) **QUAN ENS TROBEM** Els divendres de 19:15 a 20:45 Si us plau, arribeu a temps. Començarem puntualment **QUANTES PERSONES ENS REUNIM** Es proposen sessions amb aforaments diversos, de manera que el nombre d'assistents pot variar cada setmana **QUÈ PASSA A LES REUNIONS** A cada reunió tenim una discussió utilitzant el mètode socràtic:[ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_metho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method)d. Fem, responem i discutim preguntes i idees per estimular el pensament crític i ampliar les nostres perspectives amb alguns conceptes i pensaments en els quals mai hem pensat. L'objectiu principal d'aquestes trobades és enriquir-nos amb les perspectives dels altres, i no convèncer els altres sobre les nostres perspectives. Les reunions són sobre les nostres pròpies filosofies de la vida i no necessàriament el que els grans filòsofs i acadèmics han dit o escrit. No és un club de debat ni una plataforma per fer proselitisme. En canvi, posem èmfasi en qüestionar, tenir una mentalitat oberta i desafiar les nostres pròpies suposicions mentre escoltem i respectem les opinions compartides per altres persones. Una reunió de Sòcrates Cafè es considera un èxit quan els participants surten de la discussió amb moltes més preguntes de les que tenien al principi **QUINS TEMES ES DISCUTEIXEN A LES REUNIONS** Els participants suggereixen temes al principi de cada reunió. Després votem i triem el tema més popular per discutir-lo. No és necessària una formació acadèmica en filosofia; només es requereix entusiasme per intercanviar idees i punts de vista. Alguns exemples de temes escollits a reunions anteriors \- Per quins ideals val la pena morir \- Per què mai estem satisfets \- Per què els éssers humans estem informats que la societat va malament i els líders també estan ben informats\, i no obstant això les coses continuen igual \- És necessària la identitat \- Quin és el preu ètic i l'avarícia \- Què és la postveritat \- Com és possible que les persones a les societats democràtiques estiguin tan obsessionades pel poder? \(Desig de ser diferent\, millor\, més fort que els altres\)\- Què és l'amistat **QUI POT PARTICIPAR EN AQUEST MEETUP** Qualsevol persona és més que benvinguda a unir-se a les nostres trobades. Aquests events reuneixen persones de diferents orígens i cultures, tot i que no és obligatori tenir formació filosòfica. Els nostres participants habituals són persones que tenen desig d'una comprensió més profunda de si mateixos i del món. Persones que valoren el diàleg profund, honest i respectuós

Informació Chroniques Peeping Tom Creació i direcció Gabriela Carrizo Sala Gran Una metamorfosi corporal en una dimensió abissal i poètica Chroniques és un viatge en el temps que es desenvolupa en una sèrie de cròniques o capítols curts que parlen d'inicis i de finals, de llocs llunyans, de l'absència de límits i del que és desconegut. Chroniques té lloc en una transició incerta entre el que hem viscut i el que estem a punt d'experimentar. Un paisatge que es va formant a mesura que els esdeveniments ocorren; com en un camp arqueològic on es revelen capes superposades de memòries i històries d'altres cossos i d'altres temps. Peeping Tom, còmplice habitual del TNC, torna a endinsar-nos en els seus mons foscos i onírics després de presentar-nos muntatges com Kind, Triptych i S 62°58’, W 60°39’ amb gran èxit de crítica i de públic. ENTRADES https://www.tnc.cat/ca/chroniques NOTES IMPORTANTS: Cada participant gestiona la compra de la seva entrada. Us recordem que aquest grup no té cap interès comercial, és una simple trobada d'aficionats, apassionats, addictes i bojos pel teatre. Donat que les fotos de perfil poden fer impossible la identificació dels assistents, cal que busqueu activament l'organitzador/a de l'event.

Aquest grup està pensat per a tothom qui vulgui practicar idiomes i millorar les seves habilitats en un ambient social. Ens interessen tots els idiomes (català, castellà, anglès, francès, alemany, àrab, rus, xinès, persa, gallec, euskera, grec...), i ens agradaria especialment donar més espai als que sovint queden en segon pla. Normalment ens reunim en un bar, així que demanem que cadascú consumeixi alguna cosa a canvi d'utilitzar el local. A més, demanem una contribució d'**1 € per sessió** per cobrir les despeses de publicitat a la plataforma, que oscil·len entre 12 i 20 € segons el pla escollit. Dit això, som molt oberts i flexibles amb el format: podem quedar a l'aire lliure quan faci bon temps, en espais culturals com L'Estruch, en alguna associació de jocs de taula per fer una partida mentre practiquem idiomes, o fins i tot organitzar excursions i altres activitats. La idea és integrar els idiomes en la vida quotidiana, perquè creiem que és una de les millors maneres de practicar-los. En general, estem totalment oberts a noves propostes i idees. *** **ESP** ¡Bienvenidos al **Intercambio de idiomas de Sabadell**! Este grupo está pensado para quien quiera practicar idiomas y mejorar sus habilidades en un ambiente social. Nos interesan todos los idiomas (catalán, castellano, inglés, francés, alemán, árabe, ruso, chino, persa, gallego, euskera, griego...), y nos gustaría especialmente dar más espacio a los que suelen quedar en un segundo plano. Normalmente nos reunimos en un bar, así que pedimos que cada persona consuma algo a cambio de utilizar el local. Además, pedimos una contribución de **1 € por sesión** para cubrir los gastos de publicidad en la plataforma, que oscilan entre 12 y 20 € según el plan escogido. Dicho esto, somos muy abiertos y flexibles con el formato: podemos quedar al aire libre cuando haga buen tiempo, en espacios culturales como L'Estruch, en alguna asociación de juegos de mesa para echar una partida mientras practicamos idiomas, o incluso organizar excursiones y otras actividades. La idea es integrar los idiomas en la vida cotidiana, porque creemos que esa es una de las mejores formas de practicarlos. En general, estamos totalmente abiertos a nuevas propuestas e ideas. *** **DEU** Willkommen beim **Sprachaustausch Sabadell**! Diese Gruppe richtet sich an alle, die Sprachen üben und ihre Kenntnisse in geselliger Atmosphäre verbessern möchten. Uns interessieren alle Sprachen (Katalanisch, Spanisch, Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch, Arabisch, Russisch, Chinesisch, Persisch, Galizisch, Baskisch, Griechisch...), und wir möchten besonders denjenigen mehr Raum geben, die oft zu kurz kommen. Wir treffen uns meistens in einer Bar, daher bitten wir alle, als Gegenleistung für die Nutzung des Lokals etwas zu bestellen. Außerdem bitten wir um einen Beitrag von **1 € pro Treffen**, um die Werbekosten auf der Plattform zu decken, die je nach gewähltem Plan zwischen 12 und 20 € liegen. Davon abgesehen sind wir sehr offen und flexibel, was das Format betrifft: Bei gutem Wetter können wir uns auch draußen treffen, in Kulturräumen wie L'Estruch, in einem Brettspielverein für eine Partie nebenbei, oder wir organisieren Ausflüge und andere Aktivitäten. Die Idee ist, Sprachen in den Alltag zu integrieren; wir glauben, das ist einer der besten Wege, sie wirklich zu üben. Generell sind wir sehr offen für neue Vorschläge und Ideen. *** **FRA** Bienvenue dans le groupe **Échange linguistique de Sabadell** ! Ce groupe s'adresse à toutes celles et ceux qui souhaitent pratiquer des langues et améliorer leurs compétences dans une ambiance conviviale. Toutes les langues nous intéressent (catalan, espagnol, anglais, français, allemand, arabe, russe, chinois, persan, galicien, basque, grec...), et nous aimerions particulièrement donner plus de place à celles qui sont souvent laissées de côté. Nous nous retrouvons généralement dans un bar, c'est pourquoi nous demandons à chacun de consommer quelque chose en échange de l'utilisation du lieu. Nous demandons également une contribution de **1 € par session** pour couvrir les frais de publicité sur la plateforme, qui s'élèvent entre 12 et 20 € selon le plan choisi. Cela dit, nous sommes très ouverts et flexibles sur le format : on peut se retrouver en plein air quand il fait beau, dans des espaces culturels comme L'Estruch, dans une association de jeux de société pour faire une partie tout en pratiquant, ou même organiser des sorties et d'autres activités. L'idée est d'intégrer les langues dans la vie quotidienne, car nous pensons que c'est l'une des meilleures façons de les pratiquer. En général, nous sommes totalement ouverts aux nouvelles propositions et idées. *** **ENG** Welcome to **Sabadell Language Exchange**! This group is for anyone who wants to practise languages and improve their skills in a social setting.

We usually meet at a bar, so we ask everyone to order something in return for using the venue. We also ask for a **€1 contribution per session** to cover the cost of advertising on the platform, which runs between €12 and €20 depending on the plan chosen. That said, we're very open and flexible about the format: we can meet outdoors when the weather is nice, at cultural spaces like L'Estruch, at a board game club for a game while we practise, or even organise day trips and other activities. The idea is to weave languages into everyday life, as we believe it's one of the best ways to practise them. In general, we're completely open to new suggestions and ideas.

I have been studying the question of "self" online with Prof. Ellie Anderson and so I thought a prompt on the "self" might be interesting. Full confession: I had Claude create this prompt and I like it, so here goes: Imagine a thought experiment that merges two classic puzzles: > You undergo a procedure, performed neuron by neuron, in which every biological component of your brain is replaced with a functionally identical synthetic substitute. At each step, your behavior, memories, and personality remain unchanged. When the last neuron is swapped, is the consciousness experiencing the world still you? And — more pressingly — was there ever a continuous "you" to begin with? ### Questions to Wrestle With * If consciousness is purely physical, does the *gradual* nature of the replacement matter, or is it equivalent to being destroyed and rebuilt? * Could there be a "self" without continuity of experience — even moment to moment, while you sleep? On a more practical level, consider the simpler case first: **hemispherectomy** patients — people who have had an entire cerebral hemisphere surgically removed — often retain a strong sense of personal identity and continuity. This suggests "you" are not rigidly tied to specific physical material. But does that vindicate the synthetic neuron case, or merely show that identity is more *flexible* than we thought — not that it can survive *complete* substrate replacement? I used Claude so I could get this out today and let everyone have some time to consider it. Hope to see you at the Oracle. Sorry about the location change two weeks ago. That's what I get for trusting local weather predictions!

This is an in-person meeting. At this meeting you will get answers to depression and anxiety. Find out the source of them and how to get rid of them. Did you know that unwanted emotions like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, loneliness, hopelessness, anger, fear, or feelings of irritation don’t just fall on you for no reason. They are not random occurrences that simply happen to people's minds. They are definitely not due to a chemical imbalance in your brain from some nebulous chemical reaction "by chance". Your negative emotions are the symptoms of the painful experiences that you have which are not healed, and which are still affecting you. The effects of these painful experiences are exacerbated by the pressures or difficulties of the other problems in your life. Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Hubbard Dianetics Foundation of Central Ohio and Church of Scientology of Central Ohio.

She has exposed her legs in a biblical city, an act they deem forbidden, and their judgement will echo on through her adolescence. When our narrator finally admits to her mother that she is queer, her mother's response only intensifies a sense of shame: 'You exist too much,' she tells her daughter. Told in vignettes that flash between the U.S. and the Middle East--from New York to Jordan, Lebanon, and Palestine--Zaina Arafat's debut novel traces her protagonist's progress from blushing teen to sought-after DJ and aspiring writer.

This is a free, in person meeting. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.

Main Library, Meeting Room 2B What does it mean to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world? In this gathering, we'll continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount from a mystical perspective. Together we’ll explore Matthew 5:13–16, looking not only to the passage as moral instruction, but also to the deeper transformation of consciousness that Jesus invites. Together we'll reflect on how spiritual awakening changes the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. Libera Animae is an interfaith community focused on inner growth, creativity, and authentic connection. All backgrounds are welcome.

Who else is ready to sit outside? Join us for a casual chat over coffee & tea at Grandview Grind! Come out and meet some new people, enjoy your favorite drink, and make some new friends!
