#KateBriggs24 Part 3, Weeks 3-4

The Long Form, p. 126-196 and How to Live Together, p. 33-66

Hello! It’s time to start planning our next video call. If you could fill this survey out by this Wednesday, September 25th, midnight, we would appreciate it. Kim and I are looking forward to our next conversation!

This newsletter will be short because life is busy, but first a few things:

Kim shared Friedrich Schiller’s “On Naive and Sentimental Poetry,” translated by William F. Wertz, Jr., which comes up on p. 55 of The Long Form.

Many thanks to Slnieckar from Bluesky for this information on Marcella Pattyn, the last of the Beguinages, who died relatively recently. The Beguinages come up in Barthes’s Session of February 2, 1977.

Also thanks to Slnieckar for a possible source of the mobile Rose watches, Munari Montessori Mobiles. Slnieckar’s post is here.

In case you missed it, Lauren Goldenberg interviewed Kate Briggs at Words Without Borders: “A Hidden but Necessary Labor: Kate Briggs on Translation and Parenthood.”

If you would like more information on the #KateBriggs24 project, please check out Kim’s fabulous website.
