Seminar: History and Translation

Convenor: Cees Koster, Utrecht University / e-mail: Cees.Koster@let.uu.nl
schedule
participants /abstracts

This seminar focuses on questions concerning the way in which the study of Shakespeare translation (in its broadest possible sense, including inter- and intralingual as well as intersemiotic translation) may be instrumental in the historical contextualization of Shakespeare reception in specific European target cultures. Translation itself in this context may be seen as a specific form of (culturally productive) reception that functions in relation to other forms of critical and theatrical reception.
Topics that may be dealt with include:

Contextualized translational histories of Shakespeare translation into national cultural and literary systems; the role of Shakespeare translation in shaping national literature

The way in which translations of Shakespeare’s works in the course of history have been tailored to fit into specific social, political, educational, cultural and literary contexts

Contextualized translational histories of single works

Theoretical views on Shakespeare translation from pre-Romantic, Romantic, and post-Romantic (post-modern and post-colonial) perspectives.

The relationships between Shakespeare Studies and Translation Studies

Papers on other related topics are also welcomed.

Some key references that may provide theoretical insights in the topic of this seminar are:

Final versions of the paper (no more than 4000 words) should be sent to the same address before September 15th (attached either as doc.- or rtf.-files). These papers will be circulated among all seminar participants. A shorter version of the paper (1000-1500 words) should be made available for web publication before the end of July.
