The S Word: Translating the Art/The Art of Translation

Wednesday 13th July, 10.00 to 16.00

@ Pushkin House, 5A Bloomsbury Square, London WC1A 2TA.

Guest speakers:

Geraldine Brodie (University College London) is a Lecturer in Translation Theory and Theatre Translation at University College London.

Morning session: presentations from three guest speakers who each have a different perspective on the task of translation. They will share their experiences and take questions on their work.

Afternoon session: an open forum/debate will address the many issues that face both the translators and those who use their translations: how has the role of translator changed in the digital age? Translator or co-author? How do we maintain the author's original voice? Should the translator act as a kind of editor/censor when dealing with sensitive material?

Places for this event are limited: £30 (full), £25 (concessions – student, unwaged, retired), which includes tea, coffee and a sandwich lunch.
