Description

Radical Translations/Translating the Radical: 3rd Annual Conference of the Translation Studies Network of Ireland


Inspired by Cork’s legendary reputation as “Rebel County”, the focus of the third annual TSNI conference will be on the potential for translation in all its forms as a radical force, resistant to linguistic and cultural homogenization, and open to alternative modes of writing, understanding and navigating the different societies, cultures and worldviews traversing our planet. From celebrating the creativity of rebel translators who have contributed to changing the ways in which we experience and interpret different writers, texts, source cultures and dominant poetics to acknowledging the role of activist translation in countering inequality and furthering societal and environmental justice, the agency of translator(s) in enabling everyday encounters with difference will be placed at the centre of the conference programme
