CALIGHT BEAR

 

Christian, Hongkonger, flâneuse.

 

Calight is a lover of literature, film and translation. She has a BA in Comparative Literature and an MA in Translation Studies. An experienced translator who can work with CAT tools, she specialises in marketing translation and film subtitling. Besides language and culture, she is keen on philosophy, photography and graphic design.


One of her favourite literary works is Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Le Petit Prince, which has been translated into more than 250 languages and dialects all over the world since its first publication. She is now collecting different translations of the classic. Besides Le Petit Prince, she is attached to France because of cinephilia. The Lumière Brothers are the pioneers of cinema and ‘lumière’ is the French word for light. Her name Calight, coincidentally, contains the word ‘light’.


Literature and film shed light on human life. She is particularly interested in themes like time and memory, human existence and suffering, as well as alienation and estrangement. She wishes to light up the world with her writing, even if it is just a glimmer.
