Research@MLC Translating Goethe's Stella: A Play for Lovers Friday, March 29th, 12-1:30pm Lattimore 401 (Hartman Room) ... Susan Gustafson and Kristina Becker will discuss the history of the translation of Goethe’s play, Stella: A Play for Lovers, and how disturbing (for the time period) and challenging depictions of a ménage à trois and of the love between two women were masked over or eliminated, both in translations of that time period and in the 1990’s. They will also discuss their own translation of the play and adjustments and challenges they faced as they strove to present the play in English as closely as possible to Goethe’s original version of the play in 1776.

Barthe's Death Sentences and the End of Literature Wednesday, November 29th at 12:30pm Conference Room D (Humanities Center, Rush Rhees Library)... Lunch will be provided Come join Professor Lawrence D. Kritzman, from Dartmouth College, for his lecture on Roland Barthes. In the shadow of his mother’s death, Roland Barthes undertakes a quest to turn the act of mourning into a reparative gesture destined to culminate in the writing of a novel. Can the great French theorist of the late twentieth century become a novelist or is this quest undermined by an inability to engage in a creative act resulting from the loss of the mother. A psychoanalytic look at Barthes's life crisis. Open to faculty, students and the general public. Sponsored by the French Program and the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures. We hope to see you there!
