How do translators seek to preserve or displace their source texts?
Our conference seeks to address current debates surrounding untranslatability and the implications of this claim within the postcolonial context of globalization. We have invited scholars and translators from diverse disciplines and perspectives to reflect on the basic notions of appropriation as well as the contextualized poetics that often shape the translations we read and produce; in particular, we anticipate stimulating results from the integration of the historical perspective with contemporary views.
