Translation is life as art, says Medina in newest book

One translates as one uses words in living life, B.S. Medina, Jr., of the Department of Literature and Philippine Languages, says in his latest book, Sa Ibang Salita, a collection of essays in Filipino on translation.

Medina, University Fellow and holder of the Tranquilino Valderrama Distinguished Chair in the Humanities, will deliver his professorial chair lecture, “At Tumangis si Jesus”, on Wednesday, February 14 at the Conservatory, at 2:40 p.m. Medina’s book will be launched immediately after the lecture.

Sa Ibang Salita is the first of two URCO projects granted to Medina as recipient of the Brother Miguel Febres Cordero Research Award in 1998. Medina’s book is published by the De La Salle University Press.
