A possible topic I wish to explore for my unit would be the performance and listening of mistranslated poetry with a focus on poetry by Rumi and the East by Western poets and translators. This follows up on the research I conducted in my last unit based on the commercialisation of Qawwali and how it affected the genre when bought to a western audience. I wish to explore how mistranslation leads to societal issues within the poetry field as well as the way in which it affects the sonic narrative of performance and listening in contemporary western audiences and settings.
