TRANSLATION AND "WORLD LITERATURE" AT THE CENTRE FOR TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING OF QUB

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 2019 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.

  • Prof. Loredana Polezzi, Cardiff University
  • November 30 2017 (Thursday), 11 am.
  • Salón de Actos FFT   > con interpretación simultánea 
  • Organized by: Dpto. FIFA & iDAES

This lecture is funded by the Departamento de Filoloxía Inglesa, Francesa e Alemá and the Interuniversity Doctoral Programme in Advanced English Studies (iDAES) of the University of Vigo and is directly linked to the seminar (curso de formación) “The Representation of Conflicts: An Introduction to Trauma and Memory in Texts”, co-taught by Teresa Caneda and Martín Urdiales. This seminar approaches the representation of traumatic events such as the Irish Famine and the Holocaust which implied forms of enforced mobility and have become associated with cultural memory/ies. The seminar will focus on texts  which deal with the representation of scenarios of conflict (dislocation, violent assimilation) and  where the relationships among languages and speakers are marked by hierarchies of power.
