Описание : The lecture will discuss the work of a less-known island-born writer who writes in English. Born in a Cypriot village, Stephanos Stephanides joined his father who left for England when Stephanides was only eight. In his childhood years he spent time with his mother’s parents back in Cyprus, but finally settled in Bristol and graduated from Cardiff University in 1973. Three years later he left the UK and lived and travelled in Greece, Spain, and Portugal, Guyana and Washington DC where he worked as a professional translator and conference interpreter, researcher, writer and film-maker. In 1991 he returned to Cyprus and presently he reads lectures in English and Comparative Literature at the University of Cyprus. His works – poetry, fiction and non-fiction – can be read in the context of emerging and well-established crossways in the contemporary cultures of enhanced mobility. The Wind Under My Lips is his recently published memoir in which he remembers his origins in a language that veers between different linguistic identities. We will observe how this ambiguous self-location articulates insularity as a hub of departures and arrivals while raising questions about how much insular forms/languages/cultures transform with growing globalization
