Trailer to The Attention Span Newsletter

Canan “Ja’anan” Marasligil (she/they) is a multilingual writer, artist, literary translator, podcaster, and cultural programmes curator based in Amsterdam.

She started The Attention Span to publish their work independently, creating her own space where they can take the time to reflect, to analyse and to imagine our societies through writing, art and culture. You can already find many essays, interviews and more on the existing website www.theattentionspan.com

Starting this Spring 2023, Canan is launching the newsletter and podcast version of ‘The Attention Span’. She will draft and craft more focused content that will bring you closer to their literary translation work and artistic practice, weaving reflection and analysis imaginatively.

Each issue will contain a short essay on a topic related to Canan’s work, a nerdy look at translation, a page from one of her notebooks, and a list of interesting things they are reading, watching or listening to. Whether you are a writer, a translator, a reader, a professional working in the arts, culture or literature, or someone who likes to take the time to reflect on the world we live in through the lens of culture, art, translation, poetry and literature, ‘The Attention Span’ is the space for you. So do subscribe!
