'Untranslatable' is the intimate quest of Lisette Ma Neza for her own language. She grew up in a multilingual environment and discovered that no language is complete. Through untranslatable words, memories, and encounters, she explores how language boundaries both clash and blend, and how multilingualism can be both vulnerable and enriching.
“There are few people who can touch you with words in such a way that it feels like they are holding up a mirror to you while also swinging open a window to their magical inner world. Lisette does this time and again, and I am grateful to be able to read her and learn from her.”
– Dalilla Hermans, author and theatre maker
Lisette will read from her book. Theatre maker Aminata Demba talks to her and Prof. Graziela Dekeyser about multilingualism. Afterwards, you can buy the book at the book stand and we will conclude with drinks and music.
'Untranslatable' by Lisette Ma Neza is a publication in the Karakters series, essays on philosophy and cultural criticism in pocket format. The Karakters are a collaboration between Studium Generale, Academia Press, deBuren, and rekto:verso.
