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.
