<p style="margin:0in;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">The movement of
literary texts between languages and cultures is a non-linear, complex
phenomenon. This panel aims to explore the translation and transmission of
foreign texts from outside of Greece into the Hellenic literary sphere, but
also, conversely, how Greek texts travel and are disseminated internationally.
In this panel, we ask how and why specific cultural works move into and out of
the Greek language in the ways that they do. We also hope to question why
certain texts are translated, whereas others are totally ignored. We are
particularly interested in the role of individual writers as agents in these
processes of translation and transmission. Prominent Greek writers – for
example, Kazantzakis, Alexandrou, Anghelaki-Rouke – not only have extensive
readerships globally, but are often remembered as the spokespeople for
non-Greek literature within Greece. However, as purveyors of literature (their
own and that of others), these writers are not isolated examples, and their
efforts lock into wider political, institutional, historical, and social
systems.<span></span></span></span></p>
