Category: Seminars
The translation of travel narratives, literary travelogues, nautical fictions has not only introduced the “unknown” but also created an imaginary geo-territorial space based on the global power politics. As such, the proposed panel seeks to focus on the relationship between translation and spatiality from the geographical and/or geometrical perspective. How does the geographical, geometrical and geocritical factors influence translational power dynamics? What are the coordinating points that connect translation with geoterritoriality? We will accept proposals that can deal with but not restricted to the following sub-themes: Translation and cartographic imagination Translational movement within geometrical coordinates Territoriality, Spatiality, and translational plane Travel and Translation Translation as negotiation between spaces Translation and territorial politics Translated texts as geographical spaces of contact
