Promoting discipline of translation
Most stage performances of translated theatre "speak in" translation, as they inhabit the world of foreign plays and adopt it as a model for the people and the theatre. Other performances "speak over" translation, as they interpolate the ideas of the local people into the foreign plays, not only in Sinified adaptations but also in supposedly faithful translations.
The internet is a new global space where exchanges take place on several topics and in many languages. Certain platforms provide opportunities for research in the shape of semi-organized data on literary and social contexts and access to possible far-located research populations.

Since the late 1990s there has been an increasing interest in the representation of Balkan culture in the literary works of authors writing in English. Scholars (Bakić-Hayden 1995, Todorova 1997, Goldsworthy 1998, Norris 1999, Hammond 2010) have shown how literary representations of the Balkans have reflected and reinforced its stereotypical construction as Europe's "dark and untamed Other".
The seminar will focus on how the performance of popular music, as well as its reception, can be influenced and shaped by translation and other interlingual activities. It will first offer an overview of the phenomenon by discussing music’s various forms of materiality and the accompanying forms of translation.
This seminar will report on a large, interdisciplinary research project based at the University of Manchester in the UK and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council. The project involves compiling large electronic corpora of ancient Greek, medieval Arabic, early Latin and Modern English to examine how central concepts in the humanities and sciences have been (re)translated into these three lingua francas, and how they have been interpreted and reinterpreted as they entered new cultural and temporal spaces.
Chinese women's appearance on the scene of literary translation has been a long-acknowledged fact. The earliest written record of Chinese women's translation can be traced back to 1898, and the first woman's translation of western literature is Xue Shaowei's (1900) rendition of the French writer Jules Gabriel Verne's Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours (Around the World in 80 Days), though via its Japanese version.
文化自信與文化自覺相輔相成，但文化自覺過去沒有得到足夠的重視。 要提升國家形象需要有高度的文化自覺，文化自信只有建立在文化自覺之上才是可靠的。就翻譯而言，文化自覺的最終目的就是要在不損害中國文化精神的前提下，以最合適的方式來解讀和翻譯最合適的典籍材料，從而達到消解分歧，促進中外文化的交流，極大地滿足西方受眾閱讀中國典籍的需要。
Interpreting has become a visible and attractive profession in some parts of the world, but many people know little about what it involves in its various branches above and beyond a good mastery of the working languages. Far from being 'language converting devices', interpreters constantly analyze incoming (source language) speeches and make decisions on what and how to formulate their target-language speeches.
Eighty four translations of modern and contemporary Chinese literature were published in Spain between 1949 and 2010. The history of this under researched corpus of translations and their reception will form the basis of the discussion in this seminar. I will try to demonstrate two interrelated arguments: the marginality of modern and contemporary Chinese literature in Spain and the mediation of the Anglophone and Francophone literary systems in the Spanish reception.
