Prof. Polezzi\u2019s lecture explored the link between a specific kind of transnational memory \u2013the memory of migration\u2013 and processes of linguistic as well as cultural translation.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Polezzi talked about the way in which the memory of migration is passed on and represented across generations through forms of writing and visual representation which are deeply informed by practices of translation. <\/p>\n<p> Drawing on the recent work of scholars (Erll, 2009; De Cesari and Rigney, 2014) who have pointed out that memory needs to be understood as a transnational phenomenon, Prof. Polezzi concentrated on women writers\/visual artists\/performers in the context of migration and discussed the treatment of migration and its memory both in relation to trauma and desire.
