Lost and Found in Translation

Duration: 60 minutes

What’s the point of translating the classics into Australia’s first languages? Why do oral cultures like ours need the printed word and what is lost or found in the attempt? Clint Bracknell talks translating Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Bruce Lee’s ‘Fistful of Fury’ into Noongar, and Lorna Munro shares some of the challenges she encountered while translating one of Shakespeare’s most famous soliloquies into Wiradjuri. Curated by Daniel Browning.
