Edited by Gary Genosko and Carlos A. Segovia, this volume includes the facsimile edition of the original manuscript followed by its transcription and its annotated translations into English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Polish and Russian.Accompanying commentaries, diagrams, and studies of the text give an incredibly in-depth analysis of Guattari's theatrical work and its significance to his wider body of thought. Among these, Gary Genosko highlights Guattari's engagement with dialogue and language; Carlos A. Segovia examines his elaboration on Greek mythology; and Flore Gacin-Marrou looks at Guattari's role as a playwright among his other literary work, which ranged from screenplays to novels. This volume also includes another of Guattari's short theatrical pieces, Socrates, which was the only one of his plays to reach the stage, and which expands on one of the book's central themes in his dialogue with classical philosophy.About the Workshop:The workshop will be organized by Dr. Gary Genosko and Dr. Ben Bandosz. The event will feature short presentations and a roundtable discussion with researchers who contributed translations and critical readings of Félix Guattari’s dramatic fragment “Parmenides.”For further information, please contact Dr. Ben Bandosz at bbandosz@pm.mePublisher: ‎ Bloomsbury Publishing Inc.We would appreciate it if you could RSVP for the workshop on Eventbrite.To request accessibility accommodations, please email the Centre for Comparative Literature (comparative.literature@utoronto.ca).We look forward to welcoming you at our event! https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/1a91da80-047f-11f1-888a-7935f87146a8-rimg-w473-h740-dc000000-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/toronto/the-ontological-drama-of-translation-félix-guattari-and-the-ancients/100001981944642779 - **Event Categories**: Art, Theatre, Workshops, literary-art, Entertainment, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Toronto - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: U of T Centre for Comparative Literature - **lat**: 43.6673237 - **long**: -79.3925648 - **full address**: U of T Centre for Comparative Literature, 93 Charles Street West, Toronto, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: The Ontological Drama of Translation: Félix Guattari and the Ancients - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/363aa3da025ab7bfe27d4b7313257223d81eba9c098233aeb4e6fcaaef61ba05-rimg-w1200-h800-dc787875-gmir.jpg?v=1770507941 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is The Ontological Drama of Translation: Félix Guattari and the Ancients being held? - **A:** The Ontological Drama of Translation: Félix Guattari and the Ancients takes place on Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm to Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm at U of T Centre for Comparative Literature, 93 Charles Street West, Toronto, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing The Ontological Drama of Translation: Félix Guattari and the Ancients? - **A:** The Ontological Drama of Translation: Félix Guattari and the Ancients is organized by Centre for Comparative Literature. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
