\"\"<\/p>\n

One Thousand and One Nights is a work made of and by translation. The earliest Arabic fragments are already translations of an earlier Persian work, which borrowed in turn from stories of ancient India. The Arabic text itself is not stable: many different versions have proliferated over the centuries. The work\u2019s authors are unknown, but its translators (a \u201chostile dynasty\u201d, in Borges\u2019 phrase) have made frequent and dramatic authorial interventions. Yasmine Seale will discuss the layered history of the Nights and how to approach a text which seems to defy the very idea of an \u201coriginal\u201d.<\/p>\n
