Event theme(s):
On 20-21 May 2010, the Centre for the Study of the Renaissance at the University of Warwick will host an international conference on translation, print and culture in Renaissance Britain. Speakers will address a range of topics dealing with translated works into and out of several languages. The conference is being held to mark the final phase of a Leverhulme-funded project, 'Renaissance Cultural Crossroads: An Analytical and Annotated Catalogue of Translations 1473-1640'. Both the catalogue and the conference will testify to the importance of Renaissance translation in a wide variety of fields, such as history, literature, philosophy, medicine, politics and theology. In these, and many more, it played a crucial role in disseminating knowledge. The conference will also demonstrate how translation is closely bound up with the history of the book and the printing trade in the period.
We extend a warm welcome to all those who are interested in the transmission and exchange of ideas and culture in the Renaissance, as well as to those who have a particular interest in translation or book history. We also strongly encourage post-graduate students to attend and shall be able to offer some a certain measure of financial support.

Venue: Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Campus Catalunya, Tarragona, Spain
Event theme(s): This conference will convene scholars and practitioners to present state-of-the-art research on translation and the humanities. In particular, we seek to assess if, and how, academic disciplines comprising the humanities consider translation to be constitutive of their practice. Translation scholars have called for a paradigm shift in defining the relationship between translation and the humanities.

Conference
Date: 2010-05-27
Venue: University of Iceland and The Nordic House, Reykjavik, Iceland
Event theme(s): This conference on Art in Translation seeks to address how arts discourse across linguistic borders affects the production, reception, and interpretation of art, music, literature and film in a globalized context. Organized by: University of Iceland and The Nordic House. Art in Translation seeks to address how arts discourse across linguistic borders affects the production, reception, and interpretation of art, music, film and literature in a globalized context. The conference invites proposals from scholars, professionals, and graduate students from a wide range of disciplines (art, music, film, and literary history and theory, as well as linguistics, translation, anthropology, cultural studies, and other relevant fields). Equally welcome are proposals from practitioners in any field in the arts, whether in the form of conference papers or other types of presentations. Possible questions and topics include: 1. In what ways does language privilege the arts and art theory in hegemonic language communities at the expense of others? 2. How are transnational and/or nationally localized languages adapting to globalized art discourse? 3. How are certain language communities without a longstanding art historical or art theoretical discourse adopting, translating, or codifying foreign terms and/or concepts that have not previously existed? 4. In what ways can, and do, small language communities contribute to international arts discourse? 5. How do hegemonic languages of arts discourse affect artists for whom these languages are not their mother tongue? 6. What are the responsibilities and challenges of those who are translating art history, theory, or criticism from an internationally dominant language to an internationally marginal one, and vice versa?
