UNIVERSITY OF SALZBURG

DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH AND AMERICAN STUDIES

CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS:

DRAMA TRANSLATION AND THEATRE PRACTICE

24-27 October 2002


From Thursday, 24 October 2002 after lunch until Sunday, 27 October 2002 after lunch a conference will be held under the auspices of the Department and organised by Sabine Coelsch-Foisner and Holger Klein, on the subject of drama translation and theatre practice.
The conference language will be English both as regards the papers and the ensuing discussions.
In order to get a proper focus on the subject and to enable all participants to appreciate the arguments, only translations into English will be considered. There exists a certain tension between translations of drama and performance of such translations on stage, with some translators never envisaging production, others giving it some thought, and still others gearing their entire translation work to performance in the theatre. Very often directors change and adapt existing translations &endash; another dimension to be considered. Papers will study test cases &endash; no matter from what period &endash; and/or theoretical implications. The Centre offers a wide range of audiovisual facilities; speakers may wish to use them to illustrate their points.
Papers will be 30 minutes (maximum), immediately followed by 15 minutes of discussion. In each session of the conference two papers will be given and discussed.
The conference will be held at the Bildungshaus St Virgil, an education centre situated on the slopes of the hills just outside the city and within easy reach of the historic parts of Salzburg. Participants are lodged at the Centre and take their meals there, so that discussions can continue informally between and after sessions.
Before Christmas 2002 papers may be submitted for publication in hard-copy and on disk (MS DOS Windows 87 or newer, in any case IBM or IBM-compatible). A volume of conference papers will be published within about eighteen months after the conference.
