The Creative Literary Studio is a place 'of' and 'for' textual creations. Here. we want to explore the act of writing and rewriting, and discover new experimental ways of text making, including translations, adaptations, revisitations.

We are pleased to announce our second theme on translation and the art of text making: 'The Translation of Hispanic and South American writers'. What does it mean to engage with and translate such a diverse literature?

The Studio strongly invites anybody to join this Latin American journey. If you translate and/or are interested in Spanish, Central and South American literarture in current times, do share with us your ideas and what it means to translate these literarues.

Also to explore new perspectives in translating this kind of texts and push the boundaries, we invite you to try out a creative approach. You can post your own experimental translations (and also non-experimental) of Hispanic and Brazilian writers to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

1st ULICES Conference on Translation Studies “Voice in Indirect Translation”

Venue: Faculty of Letters, University of Lisbon, Portugal

Date: 10-11 July 2013

Translation takes place in an international field strongly marked by power relations between dominant and dominated national languages and cultures.  In order to understand each translation, it is necessary to take into account the positions of both source and target languages as well as the standing of a wide range of possible intervening agents – author, translator, editor, publishing houses, television channels, distributors, academia and industry, to name but a few – within national cultures and the international cultural market.
