A lecture by Linda Hess, Stanford University

In this talk, Linda Hess will reflect on what it means to translate Kabir from Hindi/Urdu into English. But more than that, she will explore as sites of translation the shifts that occur across oral, written, performative, and media divides wherever Kabir is intoned.
Documentary and narrative filmmaking elegantly merge in
