The CENTRAL network „Translating the Nation“ is a cooperation between scholars interested in the social contexts of translation in Eastern and Southeastern Europe in particular in relation to Modern Greek and the massive changes affecting translation practices today. The group leaders are: Przemysław Kordos (University of Warsaw), Kostantinos Tsivos (Charles University of Prague), Maria A. Stassinopoulou (University of Vienna, network spokesperson) and Niovi Zampouka (Humboldt University Berlin).
The first workshop of the group „Social contexts of translation in the 20th and 21st centuries in Eastern and Southeastern Europe“ will be held at the Department of Byzantine and Modern Greek Studies of the University of Vienna on the 25th and 26th of October 2024 and is organized in cooperation with the Austrian Society of Modern Greek Studies.
In accordance with the principles of the CENTRAL Network the workshop seeks to promote scholarly cooperation and communication between participants from Central European universities from all levels. It offers different formats of exchange including round tables with predocs and postdocs, but also with BA and MA students as discussants. The paper sessions also feature early, mid-career and senior scholars. All sessions use English as a communication language but discuss on translation practices between Greek and Croatian; Greek, Ukrainian, German and Russian; Russian, Armenian and Greek; Greek dialects, Greek and Polish, Turkish and Greek and Greek and English.
This is a genuinely multilingual discussion forum and we indeed look forward to welcoming you to the workshop “Translating the Nation”.
