Following the very successful event with Professor Theo
Hermans in 2009, we are delighted to announce that we will be holding another
meeting of the Translation Studies Research Forum in May 2012.
Our guest speaker is Susan Bassnett, Professor of
Comparative Literature in the Department of English and Comparative Literary
Studies at the University of Warwick. Professor Bassnett is a leading figure
internationally in the field and her publications include the seminal textbook
Translation Studies (3rd edn 2002).
She has also (co-) written or edited Translation,
History and Culture (1990),
Constructing Cultures: Essays on Literary
Translation (1996), Postcolonial
Translation: Theory and Practice (1998),
The Translator as Writer (2006),
Translation in Global News (2008)
and Political Discourse, Media and
Translation (2010).
During the first part of the afternoon, colleagues
across the College working on translation-related topics will have the
opportunity to discuss their research interests and current projects. Please let
us know in the next couple of weeks if you would like to give an informal talk
on your research (5-10 mins).
We hope that many of you will be able to attend!
