What happens to ideas when they cross linguistic borders? At the Voznensky Center, a meeting will take place where translation will be presented as a deep transformation of meanings. Middle Eastern narratives, different languages, and cultural contexts will create an intellectual journey through the world of ideas. When we think of translation, we often envision an accurate transfer of words from one language to another. But in reality, translation is not just a technical process; it is a full-fledged journey of meanings. It involves rethinking, adaptation, and sometimes radical changes to the original idea. This phenomenon will be the focus of the discussion "Journeys of Ideas: Translations and Transformations of Meanings" at the Voznensky Center. During the meeting, participants will discuss how the depth of the text's content is lost or, conversely, gained in translation, how the translator becomes an interpreter, and how language becomes a living participant in cultural dialogue. Using examples from Middle Eastern narratives, it will be shown how meaning moves across the borders of languages, time, and contexts, changing its form and significance. Speakers will include philologists, translators, and researchers - Maxim Alontsev, Kirill Korchagin, and Kristina Osipova. The discussion is organized by Safia Yasmin Bajwa - a specialist in culture and intercultural communication. Thanks to their insights and experience, the conversation promises to be lively, profound, and inspiring. The event will be of interest to both professionals in the humanities and a wider audience interested in languages, culture, philosophy, and intercultural interaction. This is not a lecture in the traditional sense, but an intellectual journey where each listener can rethink familiar concepts and discover new horizons of meaning. The discussion is part of the Moscow Book Week festival, which brings together publishers, cultural initiatives, and literature lovers from all over Moscow. The meeting at the Voznensky Center will be a bright highlight in the festival's rich program. Where to go in Moscow today will be told by our website.
