The James Joyce Centre was delighted to welcome Dr. Teresa Caneda Cabrera, during her sabbatical as a visiting associate professor at UCD School of English, Drama and Film, for the April instalment in the Spring / Summer 2019 Lecture series. Dr. Caneda Cabrera's talk focused on the relevance of the 1964 Cuban translation of Joyce’s novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man in the years following the 1959 Cuban revolution.
NETEC PI, Teresa Caneda Cabrera, was a guest speaker in the SEMINAR SERIES of the CENTRE for TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING at QUEEN'S UNIVERSITY BELFAST on February 25 with the lecture TRANSLATION AND "WORLD LITERATURE". The lecture placed translation at the center of the approaches to the study of the modes of circulation and reading of (world) literature and argued that since literary translators become agents who often activate complex discourses of historical/cultura/political affiliation they necessarily produce different versions and interpretations through which ‘universal’ literary texts and authors exist in a fluid space of global connectedness where confluences arise and yet, simultaneously, meaningful asymmetries are revealed.
