You are warmly invited to the fifth in the seminar series Researching Language and Identity in the 21st Century hosted by the Languages Group at Edinburgh Napier.
Wed 7th March 2018, 3-4.30, ROOM 1/08 Craiglockhart Campus
Prof Charles Forsdick (University of Liverpool)
Translating Cultures: Disciplinarity, policy, and public ideas about language
The talk will offer an overview of the AHRC ‘Translating Cultures’ theme, a portfolio of activity now encompassing over 120 projects including many in Modern Languages and Linguistics. ‘Translating Cultures’ is one of four current thematic programmes that complement the research council’s responsive mode application procedures. The presentation will explore the range of activity included under the ‘Translating Cultures’ umbrella, and reflect on the increasing shift in Arts and Humanities research towards work that is more linguistically sensitive. ‘Translating Cultures’ reveals the numerous benefits of a thematic approach to research, and has assembled a connected community of researchers with diverse interests and approaches in the broad area of translation and interpreting. The enhanced visibility that these connections has permitted means that the translational aspects of Arts and Humanities research have become increasingly evident. The presentation will conclude with an exploration of a range of examples of ‘Translating Cultures’ research in contexts beyond the university.
