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.
