Memory and translation exist in a set of metaphorical relationships.
Translation is how works live on, how they transcend borders and are
remembered by subsequent generations. Memory itself can be considered a
kind of translation inasmuch as it carries meaning across from one time
and place to another. In translation and interpreting, text and speech
are disarticulated and reconstituted, -membered, in a different form.
The translator's own memory, and its prosthesis in TM software, are key
tools in the task of translation. These and other aspects of translation
and memory are the topic of this year's Portsmouth Translation
Conference.
