British Centre for Literary TranslationBritish Centre for Literary TranslationDirectionality in Translation: Theory and PracticeDescriptionDelivered by the British Centre for Literary Translation. The long-held assumption that translators should/would only translate into their “mother tongue” has been challenged time and time again, both by the work of researchers questioning the assumptions behind it and by the sheer existence of translators with a diverse array of language ties and directionalities. In some contexts, it is now considered outdated. Yet in others, it still informs publishing and funding decisions. In this half-day symposium, we bring together researchers, translators and publishers for a series of interactive discussions on Directionality in Literary Translation. This event will run IN-PERSON from 1pm-7.30pm (GMT) on Thursday 27th March 2025 at University of East Anglia, Norwich, UK. www.uea.ac.uk/groups-and-centres/british-centre-for-literary-translation/summer-school
