PRISMATIC TRANSLATION

PRISMATIC TRANSLATION

The Oxford Comparative Criticism and Translation (OCCT) annual conference in collaboration with the European Humanities Research Centre (EHRC) St Anne’s College Oxford, 1-3 October 2015 Call for papers: Translation is prismatic when it produces multiple variants. This can happen in the process of a single translational act, or when a text is translated into different languages, or when it is translated into the same language several times. Our conference will explore all these aspects of the prism of translation in order to assess their origins, their effects and their potential.
