Welcome to issue four of The Attention Span Newsletter by me, Canan “Ja’anan” Marasligil. I’m a writer, a literary translator, an artist and a curator of cultural programmes based in Amsterdam.
Every other week, I take the time to reflect and offer a glimpse of how I see the world through the lens of culture, art, translation, poetry and literature. Each issue has a short essay, a nerdy look at translation, a page from one of my notebooks, a list of things to read, watch or listen to, …

• Black and White: Three Poems by Nisrine Mbarki (translated from Dutch by Michele Hutchison) published on Words Without Borders in their May 2023 edition. If you can read Dutch, I would also urge you to dive into Mbarki’s poetry collection oeverloos. I just finished writing an essay about the work of this tremendous poet I have the immense chance to call a friend. https://wordswithoutborders.org/read/article/2023-04/black-and-white-three-poems-nisrine-mbarki-michele-hutchison/
• To Tell a Story (1983). https://youtu.be/MoHCR8nshe8 Whenever I feel a bit lost and am yearning for listening to people taking the time to respond to one another and reflect on the world in a deep conversation, I watch this conversation on storytelling between John Berger and Susan Sontag.
• AI Meets World, Part One. On the WHY IT MATTERS podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/why-it-matters/id1482132871?i=1000616204051https://podcasts.apple.com/nl/podcast/why-it-matters/id1482132871?i=1000616204051 I have been interested in AI (especially in relation to automated translation) for years now, but I have not dived into what it means and how it works, enough to form any kind of reflection. So, I am starting to gather information, knowledge and experiences so I can participate in this important conversation, someday in the near future hopefully, with tools and not just based on fear of the unknown. This episode is a good start.
