Encountering Greek in Translation Studies
Interuniversity Workshop, May 11th, 2011
at Aristotle University, Thessaloniki
Main floor Amphitheater,
Research Committee New Building
(red building behind the student dining hall)
This workshop will explore what Greek literature -- Ancient, Modern,
and Diaspora -- can offer Translation Studies. It will also be a kind
of translation itself since faculty from Aristotle University in
Thessaloniki and from Columbia University in New York will be joining
forces to create a third space between institutions to discuss these
issues. In this initial meeting Lawrence Venuti will offer a
theoretical framework for thinking more generally about Translation
Studies. Colleagues, then, from Columbia and Aristotle working in the
fields of Greek, English, Comparative Literature and Translation
Studies will address different encounters between Greek and English
and how this engages with issues of translation. Our aim is to
generate an exchange between scholars on both campuses working not
only in Greek and English, but also other languages, literatures, and
media. Finally we will set aside an hour at the end for more practical
discussion about future collaborations between Columbia and Aristotle.
