Matt Valler /// Taking The Measure

War Machine

In this episode, Justin and Matt speak with Matt Valler who recently completed a PhD in Translation Studies at Queen’s University Belfast. We spoke with him about his dissertation which is titled “Taking the Measure of High Cross: Translating the Many Worlds of Truro at the Time of the Anthropocene”. Matt's work concerns the philosophy of translation, particularly in relation to New Materialism, and the materiality of narrative time in the context of environmental and ecological crises. He is also an associate researcher with the Institute of Cornish Studies at the University of Exeter where he curates a cross-departmental seminar series called Complex Cornwall, which has to do with theoretical and practical innovations in interdisciplinary research.
