Ricarda Vidal

I am a text-maker, translator and curator teaching about culture and creative industries at King’s College London. My research focuses on an expanded notion of translation, communication and meaning-making across cultures and languages. I'm also interested in practice-based and -led research, which informs my most recent publications, The Experience of Translation: Materiality and Play in Experiential Translation (Routledge, 2024), Translating across Sensory and Linguistic Borders: Intersemiotic Journeys across Media (Palgrave 2019), the poetry collection Home on the Move: Two Poems go on a Journey (Parthian, 2019) and the Revolve:R bookwork series.

Previously I have published on urban space, cinematic architecture, the legacy of Modernism and Romanticism, speed, the car and driving as cultural phenomena as well as society’s fascination with violent death.
