“Future Humanities” is a public conversation on the stakes, challenges, and rewards of editing and translating premodern texts from the world’s great literary traditions. Mariët Westermann moderates a panel featuring the general editors of six groundbreaking publishing projects that specialize in facing-page translations. Topics of discussion include the parameters and methodologies for establishing parallel-text translation series in Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Latin, Old English, and Sanskrit and other Indian languages.
