This group aims to provide a
venue for graduate students in the DLCL and related departments
that will address the burgeoning field of translation studies and
contribute to an interdisciplinary understanding of the role of
translation in literary studies. We will meet regularly to engage
with the issues surrounding the theory, study, and practice of
translation.
The topic of our first meeting
will be the problem of translatability from the perspective of
minor language literatures. Our discussion will stem from Gabriella
Safran's article, "Four English Pots and
the Evolving Translatability
of Sholem Aleichem."
