Book Talk: Ethics and Aesthetics of Translation

In this talk I will discuss my recently published monograph, Ethics and Aesthetics of Translation (UCL Press, 2018).

Translation Process Research and the New Construction of Meaning
The Challenges of Translating English Classical Poetry into Spanish Verse

The old Italian adage "traduttore, traditore" does no justice to the valuable work of translators, especially literary translators.

Illustration as Intersemiotic Translation: Visualising Nonsense

This talk will look at literary illustration as intersemiotic translation, as the "interpretation of verbal signs by means of signs of nonverbal sign systems" (Roman Jakobson). Using as examples illustrations of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, it will ask, amongst other things, how beyond representing scenes and characters, illustrators have "translated" into their own sign system literary elements which have no immediate visual equivalent, such as the verbal nonsense games that characterise Carroll's novel.
