[Publik.ims] Media Impact talk: "Carrying stories across borders: migration in, with, and across media" with Nafiseh Mousavi, 30 Sep.

Dear all, The autumn season of IMS’ popular-scientific talks on ‘Media Impact’ is commencing on Sep. 30 at 15.30-16.00. We begin with Nafiseh Mousavi giving a talk on Carrying stories across borders: migration in, with, and across media. How can stories that adapt to new media tell stories about migration? Sometimes translation between languages is not enough for a story to travel between cultures. Nafiseh Mousavi presents how authors like Marjane Satrapi (Persepolis) and Atiq Rahimi (The Patience Stone) use different media like comics, novels, and films to retell their stories to a new audience. The presentation will be held as a Zoom Webinar, the link will be published on our webpage on the same day. The presentation will be held in English. Nafiseh Mousavi <https://lnu.se/en/staff/nafiseh.mousavi/> holds a PhD in Comparative Literature and teaches at Linnaeus University. She is a member of Linnaeus University Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies (IMS). Besides her academic work, she writes stories, has collaborated with a few documentary films as a writer, and has worked as a translator for several years.
