[Event] Reading in Translation: Approaches to the Study of the Reception of Translated Literature

Despite increased interest in the field of reception within Translation Studies, the readers of translated literature remain an under-researched field of enquiry. The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars and professionals to begin to address the issue of who we are referring to when we talk about a “reader” of translated literature in the anglophone context and to ask how can we open up lines of enquiry that enable to answer the following questions: How do readers read in translation? How do readers make sense of the other in a translated text? How do they identify and negotiate cultural difference?

Keynote speakers: Danielle Fuller (University of Alberta); Leo Tak-Hung Chan (Lingnan University, Hong Kong)

The event will be delivered on Zoom and is hosted by Jennifer Arnold (University College Cork and Newcastle University)
