What it takes to teach and learn a language
Have you ever been intimidated by the prospect of learning a new language? Daniela Zappador Guerra is an Italian teacher with four languages under her belt. In this episode, she shares why developing language skills is not only more accessible than you think, it can also be delightful and fun. This talk was filmed through TEDxRedondoBeachStudio.

Dr. Clorinda Donato’s Translation and Transfer of Knowledge in Encyclopedic Compilations, 1680–1830
Translation and Transfer of Knowledge in Encyclopedic Compilations, 1680–1830
Edited by Clorinda Donato and Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink
In this edited collection, Clorinda Donato and Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink evaluate the long-overlooked phenomenon of knowledge creation and transfer that occurred in hundreds of translated encyclopedic compilations over the long eighteenth century. Analysing multiple instances of translated compilations, Translation and Transfer of Knowledge in Encyclopedic Compilations, 1680–1830 expands into the vast realm of the multilingual, encyclopedic compilation, the most tangible proof of the global enlightenment.

In light of the recent developments following the election and feedback from faculty and students in the department about undocumented and DACA students worrying greatly about their future, we want to let students know that the Department of RGRLL would like to provide a “safe haven” for students to congregate, talk and in general feel welcome. For this purpose, students can use the tables and chairs in the faculty office area and are welcome to come to talk to us. Members of the department are working with faculty across disciplines and Associate Dean Dan O’Connor to collect current and accurate information about issues related to undocumented and DACA students on campus and in the community.

Congratulations Dr. Clorinda Donato on the publication of “The Life and Legend of Catterina Vizzani: Sexual identity, science and sensationalism in Eighteenth-Century Italy and England”
New in the series:
The Life and Legend of Catterina Vizzani: Sexual identity, science and sensationalism in Eighteenth-Century Italy and England
By Clorinda Donato
A transcultural examination of gender fluidity and transgendered lifestyles informs the narration and analysis of Catterina Vizzani’s story featured in this volume. Early modern anatomist Giovanni Bianchi’s 1744 medical novella about Vizzani, published here in Italian with a modern English translation, is juxtaposed with John Cleland’s sensationalized 1751 translation. A scintillating reflection on transcultural sexualities and trans historicities that significantly revises our view of enlightenment sexualities.
- The first book on transgendered identity in early modern Italy and England and the scientific and social debates sparked by the case of Catterina Vizzani.
- The science of sex in eighteenth-century Italy and England and the ongoing transhistorical debate over gender identity, fluidity and performativity are the stuff of this timely volume.
- This volume uses Giovanni Bianchi’s rare Italian source text on Catterina Vizzani/Giovanni Bordoni and John Cleland’s 1751 translation-adaptation to chart the distance in perspective over sexual identity in Italy and England, revealing a surprisingly modern, transcultural debate and a model of trans history.
