Hand Over Fist or Hand to Mouth? Translating Fiction in the U.S. 

Thursday December 7th

5:15pm, 

G108, 21 Woodland Road. Entrance at 3-5 Woodland Road.

More literature is being translated into English than ever before. International fiction seems to be enjoying if not a golden age, then at least a moment. Is this a boon for the translating profession? The School of Modern Languages is delighted to welcome the leading American translator of Czech fiction, Alex Zucker, from New York City to share his experience and offer a sneak peek at results from the first-ever survey of working conditions for literary translators in the U.S.A. 

Alex's latest work is Three Plastic Rooms, the remarkable and linguistically bewildering monologue of an ageing Prague prostitute, by the leading contemporary Czech novelist, Petra Hůlová, to be published by Jantar in November 2017. You can find out more about Alex and his work at http://www.alexjzucker.com/

Lecture in Leicester by Luis Pérez-González, 'Researching Audiovisual Translation Outside the Margins of the Frame', 18 May 2017

This looks like a great event: am sorry that I won't be able to be there, but in case any readers of this blog are in hailing distance of Leicester: 

The Centre for Translation and Interpreting Studies at the University of Leicester is pleased to announce the 2017 Annual Lecture

Beyond Representation: Researching Audiovisual Translation outside the Margins of the Frame

Professor Luis Pérez-González

Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies

University of Manchester

Venue: Council Suite Room One, First Floor, Fielding Johnson Building, University of Leicester

Time: 6-8pm Thursday 18 May 2017, including a drinks reception

This session problematises the role that representation has played as the driving logic of mediation behind industrial approaches to audiovisual translation during the mass media culture – characterised by the centrality of tele-cinematic commodities, the prevalence of linear models of media consumption and distribution, and the mapping of audiovisual markets onto discrete national audiences. In the post-industrial digital culture that began to crystallise a decade ago, the means of media ‘prosumption’ have become more entangled and collaborative, and brought to the fore ‘the bottom-up energy of media created by amateurs and hobbyists as a matter of course’ (Blau 20015: 3). Against this backdrop, the portability and reproducibility of media content is reshaping the media marketplace: with streaming on-demand channels of transmission becoming more ubiquitous, audiences are becoming rapidly superseded by much more fragmented and fluid ‘audienceships’ (Pérez-González 2014). Significantly, for the purposes of this session, the networked dynamics of the digital culture are favouring intervention as an alternative approach to linguistic and cultural mediation that erodes the privileged status of the original text and allows for new forms of interaction between translators and their audienceships.

Under this new interventionist regime, scholars interested in the sociology of audiovisual translation are presented with new research challenges and opportunities. In this session, I will examine how audiovisual translation is quickly emerging as a community-building cultural activity, which calls for the analytical lens to be shifted away from the translation output towards the processes of organisation and deliberation that take place around this participatory activity and contribute to galvanising geographically dispersed collectivities of interest. Specifically, this presentation explores the theoretical and methodological demands that these developments place on audiovisual translation scholars, and surveys a range of frameworks that could assist us in harnessing the complexity of audiovisual translation activities in the digital culture.

Luis Pérez-González is Professor of Translation Studies and Co-director of the Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies at the University of Manchester, UK. He is a Co-investigator on the 4-year project Genealogies of Knowledge: The Evolution and Contestation of Concepts across Time and Space, and a case study analyst in the Manchester-led OWRI project Cross-language Dynamics: Reshaping Community – both of them funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council in the UK. He is also author of Audiovisual Translation: Theories, Methods and Issues (Routledge 2014), editor of Routledge Handbook of Audiovisual Translation (2017), and co-editor of Routledge’s Critical Perspectives on Citizen Media book series. His articles have appeared in a wide range of international journals, including The Translator, The Journal of Language and Politics, Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media, International Journal of Cultural Studies, Journal of Pragmatics and Language and Intercultural Communication.

The event is open to all. For further information contact Dr. Anna Milsom at a.milsom [at] leicester.ac.uk.

The Translator Made Corporeal: Translation History and the Archive

Just a quick reminder to my more tireless (or insomniac) readers that there's a really wonderful-looking event coming up at the British Library on translation history and archival research. There's still time to sign up:

https://www.bl.uk/events/the-translator-made-corporeal-translation-history-and-the-archive

There are various concessions including a hefty discount for members of the Translators Association of the Society of Authors. 

There is, by any standards, a fantastic line-up of speakers - I think the only problem will be the embarrassment of riches. The programme includes a keynote by Jeremy Munday, author of a number of distinguished publications using archival methodology, including this excellent 2014 article (paywalled) in The Translator.

I hope to see many old and new friends there!

Free public lecture: Shakespeare's First Folio on stage

This looks like a great event coming up in the Theatre department at the end of this month: 

STR Wickham Lecture 2017: Shakespeare’s First Folio on Stage

Tues 30 May 2017 at 5.30pm

Professor Emma Smith

Wickham Theatre, Department of Theatre, Cantock's Close

The Department of Theatre is delighted to welcome Professor Emma Smith to give the Society for Theatre Research's 2017 Wickham Lecture.

Shakespeare’s First Folio on Stage

In the first collected edition of Shakespeare’s plays, the 1623 First Folio, there’s no mention of the acting company to which Shakespeare belonged for most of his career: the King’s Men. Many accounts of the Folio suggest that it rejects the theatre itself, by redirecting Shakespeare's plays away from the stigma of performance. Nevertheless, physical copies show us how the book was used by theatres and performers from the seventeenth century onwards. In fact, the history of actors’ encounters with this book demonstrates its ongoing association with the stage in different periods. From the recently discovered copy from the Jesuit college in St Omer, to the modern commitment to Folio punctuation by many actors and companies, this lecture attempts to put the stage back into the book.

No booking is necessary; please just turn up.

Prof. Emma Smith is Fellow of Hertford College and Lecturer in the Faculty of English at Oxford University. Her research focuses on Shakespeare and on early modern drama. Her most recent book Shakespeare's First Folio: Four Centuries of an Iconic Book (Oxford University Press, 2016) explores the material histories of individual copies of Shakespeare's First Folio from 1623 to the present day.

'Thinking Translation in Creation' 29-30 June 2017, Lancaster University

This looks like a fab event - wish I could go!

The Space in Between: Thinking Translation in Creation

Study Day and Workshop
29th-30th of June 2017, Lancaster University

What happens when artists and writers experiment with translation in their works? What happens when the processes of translation and untranslatability are reflected on visually or artistically? Many multilingual writers use translation, either consciously and unconsciously, in their artistic manipulation of language. Other artists such as Jean-Luc Godard have used translation as a way to critique the cultural hegemonies of their context of production, or in the case of Hans/Jean Arp, as visual portraits of their relationship to languages. 

This colloquium invites researchers, creative writers and artists to reflect on the role of translation in theirs and others’ creative practices. The event will consist of a study day followed by a workshop led by OUTRANSPO.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers:  Dr. Simon Coffey (King’s College London) and OUTRANSPO (http://www.outranspo.com/)

Please send abstracts and titles to Dr. Delphine Grass at d.grass at lancaster.ac.uk by 10 April 2017.

CFP: The Materiality of Feminist Texts and Translations: Economy, Production, and Text, Bern 23-24 June 2017

The Materiality of Feminist Texts and Translations: 

Economy, Production, and Text

Bern, Switzerland 23-24 June 2017

International Network "Translating Feminism: Transfer, Transgression, Transformation (1945-1990)"

Organisers: Dr. Maud Bracke, Dr. Penny Morris and Dr. Kristina Schulz

23 June 2017-24 June 2017, Bern, University of Bern
Abstract deadline: 15 March 2017

The project "Translating Feminism" brings together scholars from three continents wishing to pursue original, interdisciplinary research focused on the global reach of feminist writing and women’s movements. While the transformation of women’s social status is one of the most significant developments of the post-war period, little is known about the precise ways in which women’s rights campaigners across different national and cultural settings communicated with one another, read and translated each other’s texts, and locally recontextualised them. The first international workshop in Glasgow in November 2016 provided the opportunity to discuss historical findings and new theoretical approaches. These discussions will be pursued further at the second international workshop that will take place in Bern, Switzerland, June 23-24, 2017.

More precisely, the forthcoming workshop will be dedicated to the materiality of feminist texts and to the material culture of feminist literary activities, with a special focus on translation. Following Roger Chartier, the meaning that readers give to a text is never detached from the material conditions in which it is produced and diffused. Chartier reminds us that the printed object is crucial to an understanding of why and how people make sense of what they read. This applies to translations in particular ways, as the physical quality of both the source text and the translation establish an (imagined) relationship between transnational and translingual writers and readers.

Women’s literary activities involved producing, diffusing, reading, translating, and discussing texts from a woman’s point of view. But what was considered to be a "woman’s point of view", and how do global transfers and translations de-stabilise accepted notions thereof? Instead of studying feminism as a given system of ideas, regardless of the context of its production and reception, we aim to study the variety of material supportive of women- centred ideas, ranging from pamphlets to self-published pirated editions and to printed books, as well as the literary activities by which they are produced and transmitted. This includes the fact that, while practising what social movement theorists call 'counter-cultural retreat', when it came to literary activism, feminists did engage with a broader public, both in terms of a (potential) feminist public and the institutions and actors of the publishing market.

Translating Feminism: Transfer, Transgression, Transformation (1945-1990)

We invite papers that deal with different aspects of feminist text and book production, diffusion, and translation, such as:
– The materiality of the printed object and the conditions of (non-)reproducibility
– The economic contexts of book publishing and translation
– The technical conditions of writing, translation and transnational communication transfer
– Aspects of distribution
– Bookshops and reading communities
– The history of translation and a transnational feminist reading market

Practical arrangements:
Presenters will have approx. 15 minutes to discuss their paper, and panels will consist of 3-4 papers. The pre-circulation of papers is intended to foster deep engagement with each other’s work.
Presenters may be asked to act as discussant for another paper. Please include the following in your proposal:
– A 300-word paper abstract
– A 200-word biographical statement with main publications and current affiliation
– State if you are seeking funding, with reference to the following criteria: Limited funding to cover travel and accommodation is available for researchers working on temporary contracts, and for academics working outside Europe and North America.

Please send your proposals to the organisers by March 15, 2017. You will be notified by mid-April 2017 and will be asked to circulate a draft of your paper by June 1. The programme will be finalised and published in the course of May 2017.

Second Workshop of the Leverhulme Trust funded International Network 'Translating Feminism: Transfer, Transgression, Transformation (1945-1990)'; organised by Dr. Maud Bracke, Dr. Penny Morris and Dr. Kristina Schulz

Call for Papers: ARTIS@BANGKOK2017, 29-30 July 2017

There's a great-looking event coming up organised under the aegis of ARTIS:

Call for Abstracts

ARTIS@BANGKOK2017

“Translatorship”

  29-30 July 2017

Jointly organised by Chalermprakiat Center of Translation and Interpretation, Chulalongkorn University, and the MA program in English-Thai translation, Thammasat University

As a platform for “empowering translators” (Tymoczko 2007), translation studies has developed into a discipline that encourages inclusionary approaches, culturally sensitive methodologies and agency-focused paradigms which unsettle the traditional author/translator hierarchy. However, this emphasis on the importance of “translatorship” is not always adopted within translator training programmes. We are faced with generations of translators who are not equipped with the ability to reflect critically on themselves and their works.

In this ARTIS event, we offer lectures and workshops that focus on research methodologies and critically engage with the issue of translatorship on both textual and sociological levels. On the textual level, the translator’s presence can be studied, for example, through the translator’s point of view, style, ideology, without a traditional, rigid comparison with the author. On the sociological level, translators are considered influential players in the creation of the social world, as can be seen in Bourdieu’s sociological approach to translation that pinpoints translators as mobilizers of economic and symbolic capitals through their works. Both approaches highlight the significance of the role of translators in the importation and transmission of knowledge, whilst acknowledging that this is not always properly documented, and that it thus tends to be wiped out from public memory.

This two-day ARTIS event is the first of its kind that is specially designed for MA students who are working on their dissertations. We also welcome PhD students and scholars who are interested in starting new research in translation studies. Participants can choose to join public lectures and panel discussions on the first day, or continue to participate in workshops led by our invited speakers on the second day. Workshop participants are required to submit an abstract for poster presentations which will take place on the second day. We invite abstracts that address or are related to the following issues:

•       Translator’s style and ideology
•       Translation as textual intervention
•       The translator’s voice and identity
•       The translator’s agency
•       Sociological aspects of translation
•       Translation as profession
•       The sense of translatorship in translation pedagogy

Please send an abstract of no more than 250 words, together with your name, affiliation and email address, to Dr. PhraeChittiphalangsri phrae.c[at]chula.ac.th by 30th April 2017. Successful applicants will be notified by email no later than 30th May 2017. Please note that MA students need a recommendation letter from their advisor to accompany the application.
