On the one hand, the workshop focuses on the relevance of studying translations in the context of narrative theory. It seems somehow self-evident that narrative theory can draw on the translations of literary narratives and that the translation does not affect the way in which the text should be analyzed. Still, significant shifts can occur on the level of narrative strategies, when a text is translated into another language. Ways in which perspective or narrative voice are rendered can vary from language to language. This is not just a matter of stylistic features, but also of narrative features. In this respect, the workshop wants to specify the narratological relevance of examining translations. On the other hand, the workshop will explore how the models developed in narrative theory can enrich the study of translations. Translation scholars have long campaigned for increased recognition of the translator’s voice in the study of translated fiction. Among other things, this has resulted in attempts to broaden existing models of narrative communication to account for the presence of the translator in narrative fiction. Ironically, however, the calls for greater awareness of the translator’s involvement were issued at a moment when postclassical approaches to narrative were challenging anthropomorphic conceptions of authorship implied by traditional (structuralist and rhetorical) approaches to narrative. The workshop aims to show how these new developments in postclassical narratology may be inserted in ongoing debates about the translator’s discursive presence in translated narrative. More generally, the workshop will examine how narrative analysis can be implemented in translation studies and in comparative analyses of translations. Keynote speakers are Theo Hermans (University College London) and Gerald Prince (University of Pennsylvania).

Translation Group at Imperial College London Saturday 26th November Respeaking Workshop There are places available for the Respeaking workshop being held by the Translation Group at Imperial College on the 26th November. This is open to professionals as well as students. Course Content The course will start with an introduction to the different methods used to produce live subtitles for deaf and hard of hearing viewers and a presentation of respeaking (live subtitling through speech recognition) and the different ways in which it is implemented professionally around the world. This theoretical part of the course will finish with an overview of speech recognition and how it is used in live subtitling and accessibility in general. In the practical part the course participants will first of all become familiarised with the use of the speech recognition software Dragon Naturally Speaking, which will have to be set up so that it can be used for live subtitling. Participants will then start practising the different skills required for respeaking (dictation speed, split-attention, use of vocal commands, rhythm, etc.) with videos from sports programmes, news and interviews. A list of links, useful websites and other sources of information will be given to all the participants at the end of the course. Course Trainer Pablo Romero-Fresco Senior Lecturer in Audiovisual Translation at Roehampton University Fees: £110 / £60 (student rate) To apply for a place email Tom Barbanneau t.barbanneau@ic.ac.uk

University College London, Tuesday, July 12, 2011, DION 106, 12:00 p.m. The UMass Dartmouth Summer Program in Portuguese is now in its 18th year of offering intensive courses in Portuguese language, Portuguese-English translation, and Lusophone literatures and cultures at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. With the aim to encouraging our international group of students to consider careers in translation, the Program has invited a number of scholars in the field of translation studies over the past few years to meet with students and present their research; past guests have included Prof. Edwin Gentzler, well-known specialist on theories of translation, and Prof. Donaldo Macedo, English translator of the works of Paulo Freire, seminal figure in Brazilian liberation pedagogy. This year we are honored to be able to welcome Prof. Moira Inghilleri from University College London, who will give a talk on the following topic: Communicative ethics, translator visibility and linguistic/cultural borders Translators of spoken and written language operate in contexts which can foster ambiguity, contradiction and misunderstanding, all of which are resolvable only in relation to the different communicative objectives at play amongst the participants involved. The notion of the impartial and neutral translator has long been a crucial guiding ethical principle of the profession. However, particularly in contexts where communicative objectives are tied to specific social, political or economic agendas, maintaining impartiality can work against the goal of mutual understanding. In this seminar, I present an alternative view of ethical communication which, instead of encouraging translators to remain interactively invisible, calls for a greater recognition of the crucial link between ethical practice, translator visibility, and moremutually-effective dialogue amongst linguistically and culturally diverse speakers and texts. Bio: Moira Inghilleri is Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Intercultural Studies, University College London. She is the author of Interpreting Justice: Ethics, Politics and Language (Routledge, available November 2011) and the forthcoming Sociological Approaches to Translation and Interpreting (St. Jerome Publishing). She is co-editor of The Translator: Studies in Intercultural Communication. Prior to joining the journal as co-editor in 2011, she guest-edited two special issues: Bourdieu and the Sociology of Translating (2005) and Translation and Violent Conflict (2010, with Sue-Ann Harding). Her research has appeared in Translation Studies, The Translator, Target and a number of edited collections.
