Summer School | Conceptualizing Histories of Translation | 18-23 September 2023 | Graz, Austria
Conceptualizing Histories of Translation: From your story to history
The summer school Translation in History – History in Translation previously organized by the Center for Translation Studies in Vienna will be continued at the Department of Translation Studies in Graz this coming summer.
The focus of our discussions will be on contextualizing our own case studies and exploring the theoretical relevance and significance of these examples for translation history. Renowned speakers will provide theoretical and methodological insights through workshops, encouraging lively discussions and debates. We will also offer opportunities for participants to discuss their work and related issues in small groups or individual consultations with researchers from the Department of Translation Studies in Graz. This will enable participants to further develop their projects and ideas.
Lectures and workshops by
- Hephzibah Israel, University of Edinburgh
- Pekka Kujamäki, University of Graz
- Anthony Pym, University of Tarragona and Melbourne
- Larisa Schippel, University of Vienna
Applications from all countries and different disciplines are welcome. Applicants should demonstrate their interest in translation and/or interpreting history in a short description (1 page) of their PhD project. Selected participants will be expected to prepare a poster of their PhD project by 1 September 2023.
