[spectre] Event - First Times Do Not Exist: Translating and citing as relational practices of (re)use

[Gary Hall]

    *First Times Do Not Exist ***
    *Translating and citing as relational practices of **(**re**)**use*

​​​*Friday October 27, 2023*
*14.00–17.00*
*Göteborgs Litteraturhus*
*Lagerhuset, Heurlins plats 1, Göteborg*
*www.goteborgslitteraturhus.se* <http://goteborgslitteraturhus.se/>

If we consider authorship to be part of a collective cultural 
effort, how can we invent a politics of sharing and re-use that is 
attentative to power differences, and does not buy into a universalist 
approach to openness? How can we develop practices of reuse that take 
into account that a universalist “open” means different things in 
different contexts?

In conversation with translator Jennifer Hayashida, curator Nkule Mabaso 
and theoretician Cathryn Klasto, Eva Weinmayr and Femke Snelting attempt 
to rethink translation and citation as dispersed economies of re-use. 
Feeding, digesting, excreting, negotiating and transforming – citation 
and translation are knowledge ecologies where authorship is distributed, 
because a multiplicity of agents are at work to create a nutrient-rich 
milieu. With the help of two practice examples, we want to ask: what 
would be the conditions for a relational practice of re-use

​​​​​​​/Ecologies of Dissemination/ is an artistic research project by 
Eva Weinmayr and Femke Snelting, that aims to develop a politics of 
re-use that acknowledges the tensions and overlaps between feminist 
methodologies, decolonial knowledge practices and principles of open 
access. It is a collaboration between HDK-Valand, Academy of Art and 
Design, Göteborg, the Centre for Postdigital Cultures 
<https://postdigitalcultures.org/>, Coventry University (UK) and 
Constant <https://constantvzw.org/site/>, a non-profit, artist-run 
association active in the fields of art, feminism, media and technology 
in Brussels (BE). It is funded by the Swedish Research Council (2023-24).

The event will be recorded.

*Jennifer Hayashida* practices as a writer, translator, educator and 
artist. She is interested in ways that language moves across contexts. 
*Cathryn Klasto* works as a transdisciplinary theoretician within the 
field of critical spatial practice. Together with Marie-Louise Richards 
they edited the recent issue of Parse Journal 
<https://parsejournal.com/journal/#citations> on /Citation. /She is 
interested to spacialise citational practices. *Nkule Mabaso***practices 
as a curator. She has co-curated the South-African Pavillion at the 
Venice Bienale (2019) and co-edited with Jyoti Mistry  the issue 
“Decolonial Propositions” (oncurating.org). Currently she works with 
curator Moses Serubiri on practices of citation from a South-African 
vantage point.

The event is developed in collaboration with PARSE Journal 
<https://parsejournal.com/research-themes/#ecologiesofdissemination> (Platform 
for Artistic Research, Sweden).
