Cfp: SELF-TRANSLATION: INCLUSION OF DIVERSITY

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: SELF-TRANSLATION: INCLUSION OF DIVERSITY

September 20-21, 2023, Alma Mater Studiorum – Bologna University

Since the 2011 Bologna conference, the field of self-translation has received increasing attention, which resulted in the broadening of this research area. New approaches enriched what now has become an autonomous branch of Translation Studies, often referred to by scholars as Self-Translation Studies (Anselmi 2012, Lusetti 2018). This follow-up conference aims at approaching the phenomenon of self-translation from a fresh perspective, framing it in terms of the dynamics of diversity/identity and inclusion/exclusion. Indeed, as key aspects of translingualism, these sociocultural elements play a significant role for self-translation.

The conference will privilege case studies and texts from the 20th and 21st centuries, i.e. when the phenomenon of migration reached much greater dimensions than in the past. Particularly in this period, the practice of self-translation served as one of the primary means of identity reflection, giving voice to hybrid selves, both migrant or in exile. Self-translation thus represents a peculiar synthesis between exclusion and inclusion, between the self-alienation of those who do not assimilate and the self-amputation of others who abandon the language of origin by losing themselves in translation (Hoffman 1989).

Self-translation is also a way of overcoming socio-spatial inequities and a response to the challenges of migration, whether political or economic. In this respect, self-translations born in the context of “endogenous” bilingualism gain considerable significance too. “Migrant” and “sedentary” self-translators (as Grutman calls them, in Puccini 2015) experience different conditions, but are united by a common living in-between. This “in-betweenness” is expressed in self-translation as a way of crossing, renegotiating and reinventing linguistic and cultural boundaries. Another privileged line of inquiry includes groups that challenge the dynamics between center, periphery and power (Castro, Mainer, Page 2017), such as minorities, migrants/immigrants/exiles in the postcolonial sphere. Moreover, meaningful insights on the work of the author-translator can be drawn from various forms of life narratives (Falceri, Gentes, Manterola 2017), such as diaries, letters, testimonies etc..

We welcome papers on general issues as well as specific case studies focusing on the process and/or products of self-translation, the figure of self-translator, etc., analyzed from the perspective of diversity and inclusion. Possible approaches include, but are not limited to, theoretical, linguistic and cultural frameworks.

The conference accepts submissions in English or Italian. Proposals for panels or twenty-minute papers should be sent via e-mail no later than December 31, 2022 to: selftranslation2023@unibo.it.

The submissions must include an abstract (maximum 500 words), an essential bibliography, a brief bio note and institutional affiliation.

Notification of acceptance will be announced via e-mail no later than January 31st, 2023. We are exploring the possibility of using the conference as a springboard for a themed, peerreviewed volume, in which selected papers will be published as full-length articles.

Conference fee

100 € - tenured researchers and professors
50€ - non-tenured researchers and PhD students

Payment details will be notified on acceptance of the proposal.
The registration fee includes catering and conference materials.

Writing Bilingually in Early Modern Europe: A Symposium on Philosophical and Scientific Self-Translation

The symposium "Writing Bilingually in Early Modern Europe: A Symposium on Philosophical and Scientific Self-Translation" took place on 14th June at The Warburg Institute.

Organizers: David Lines (University of Warwick) & Sara Miglietti (Warburg Institute).

Co-sponsored by: Society for French Studies; Society for Renaissance Studies; British Society for the History of Science; Centre for the Study of the Renaissance, University of Warwick.

Self-translation (the practice of translating one’s own works from one language into another) was a widespread phenomenon in early modern Europe, yet one that still remains largely uncharted in modern scholarship. While there have been isolated studies of important figures – mainly literary authors such as Leon Battista Alberti, Joachim Du Bellay or John Donne – we still do not know enough about the activities of self-translators in other domains, including those of philosophy and science. ‘Writing Bilingually in Early Modern Europe’ will begin to fill this gap by investigating the practice of self-translation in fields such as natural and moral philosophy, medicine, politics, and religion. Prominent European thinkers from this period will be studied comparatively in order to identify similarities and idiosyncrasies in their respective self-translative practices, but also with a view to addressing more general questions: What functions did self-translation fulfil in producing and disseminating knowledge among different reading publics? To what extent did self-translators engage theoretically with contemporary debates on language (questione della lingua, querelle de la langue)? Why did they translate themselves, for whom, and in what contexts (institutional sites, intellectual networks, economy of the printed book)? And how did self-translating affect the reception of their works?

Session 1. Chair: Sara Miglietti (Warburg Institute)  

11:15 - 11.45  Sietske Fransen (Max Planck Institute for Art History, Rome), ‘Translating a Bilingual Medical Author: The Case of J.B. van Helmont’  

11:45 - 12.15 Mario Turchetti (Université de Fribourg), ‘The Bilingual Political Vocabulary of Jean Bodin's République / De republica’ 

12:15 - 12.45 Discussion

Session 2. Chair: John Tresch (Warburg Institute)

14.00 - 14.30 Dario Tessicini (Durham University), ‘Giordano Bruno’s Cosmological Poems between Self-Translation and Reuse’ 

14:30 - 15.00 Cecilia Muratori (University of Warwick), ‘The Physiognomic Corpus of Giovan Battista Della Porta: A Web of Translations and Translators’ 

15:00 - 15.30  Discussion 

15:30 - 15.45  Tea and coffee 

Session 3. Chair: David Lines (University of Warwick)

(SELF)TRANSLATION AND THE GLOBALIZATION OF IMAGINARIES IN A REBABELIZED WORLD

This interdisciplinary conference aims to discuss the cultural and scientific issues of (self)translation in the context of the globalization of imaginaries and the rebabelization of the world. In the early days of the World Wide Web, the share of English stood at 90 percent and has now passed below the 30 percent mark, thus multiplying the sources of untranslatability and incommunication. Translation has always played a considerable role in cultural, scientific and political transfers. Today, its place is key, in a period increasingly under the sign of what Salman Rushdie called “Translated men” in Imaginary Homelands. 

In the 1950s there were 25 million tourists worldwide. Today, they are more than 1.3 billion. The imaginaries of languages and cultures have, for better or for worse, come into contact with one another as never before in the history of mankind. Translating in order to understand the Other has become more necessary than ever; since it would be pointless to learn all the languages of the world, it seems increasingly self-evident, to rephrase Umberto Eco, that “the language of globalization is translation”. 

The main originality of this conference is threefold. First, it shall be argued that establishing a radical separation between translation and self-translation is an artificial one. The two are inseparable, not to mention the intermediary case of translation in collaboration with the author, which are all forms of the “work with multiple versions” (G. Genette) where text genetics has a seminal role to play. Second, and more important, it shall be argued that no clear-cut border may be drawn between literary (self)translation—a full session will be devoted to Nabokov—and scientific (self)translation. In order to be disseminated far and wide, sciences (and by this word are meant all sciences, not only Humanities and Social Sciences) cannot do without (self)translation either. In today’s globalized world, academics and researchers who have never had to resort to translation or (self)translation-except if they are native speakers of English-are becoming fewer and far between indeed. 

Last but not least, the new technologies of information and communication have made it less and less relevant to take the sole vector of the written word into account. The other forms of translation, and particularly their intersemiotic, multimodal dimension, must be brought into the picture, as well as the spectacular breakthroughs accomplished by “automatic” computer-assisted (self)translation. Some are now predicting the advent of a Star Trek-like “universal translator” that will make “human” translators and interpreters obsolete. The opposite is true—machines will not replace them, but will provide them with more opportunities, not less, while allowing the greater number to access texts, discourses and exchanges in foreign languages on an unprecedented scale. 

Languages  of the conference: English and French.

Solo di recente l’autotraduzione si è profilata quale campo di ricerca con una propria e
avvincente peculiarità all’interno dei translation studies. Il convegno a carattere internazionale e interdisciplinare, nato dalla collaborazione tra l’Istituto Italiano di Studi Germanici e il gruppo di ricerca Mediatori e Traduttori Europei dell’Università di Roma Tor Vergata, si propone di indagare l’autotraduzione da più prospettive facendo dialogare fra loro approcci critico-letterari e linguistici.
Al centro della riflessione saranno posti gli sviluppi degli studi dedicati al fenomeno, i motivi che spingono gli autori a tradurre le proprie opere, nonché i processi di autotraduzione con le rispettive strategie traduttive.

Cette journée d’étude va explorer le sujet, de plus en plus actuel et interdisciplinaire, de l’écriture multilingue et de l’autotraduction. Bien que l’autotraduction ait toujours existé dans l’histoire de la littérature, son étude n’a gagné en importance que très récemment dans le milieu académique (Hokenson and Munson 2007). Les écrivains plurilingues et les autotraducteurs mettent en effet en cause le paradigme unilingue de l’État Nation, longtemps dominant dans le monde occidental (Lagarde 2013). Ce sont les nouveaux contextes postcoloniaux et migratoires qui ont rendu possible cette ouverture vers une prise en considération de l’autotraduction dans le milieu scientifique à partir de la dernière décennie du XXe siècle (Ceccherelli 2014). La majorité des études publiées jusqu’à présent se sont concentrées sur la dichotomie traduction/réécriture, en choisissant notamment comme corpus les oeuvres des grands autotraducteurs célèbres. Au cours de cette journée, il s’agira plutôt de faire le point sur les nouvelles perspectives de cette discipline : on partira des définitions (Eva Gentes) pour souligner ensuite les apports de l’étude des manuscrits (Rainier Grutman), réfléchir sur les cas limites de l’autotraduction (Olga Anokhina, Emilio Sciarrino) et présenter des corpus extra-européens (Simona Gallo, Chiara Lusetti).

Conference Translation & Minority 11-12th November 2016

Self-translation will be a topic at the conference Translation & Minority, 11-12th November 2016 at University of Ottawa’s School of Translation and Interpretation.

November 12, 16:00-17:30 Panel 13: Self-translation

• Rainier Grutman: La dynamique de l’autotraduction verticale
  
  La plupart des auteurs qui se traduisent eux-mêmes ne sont pas bilingues dans deux langues officielles d’États-nations tout aussi officiels, mais écrivent dans une « grande langue » et, parallèlement, dans une langue moins connue et reconnue. La traduction n’est pas un « échange » symétrique pour eux, mais plutôt une « négociation » asymétrique, « verticale » (Folena; Stierle), entre deux langues au statut inégalement reconnu. La recherche sur ces autotraducteurs fait apparaître deux types de « minorités »: 1) celles qui sont globales en raison de la position périphérique qu’occupe leur langue maternelle dans la « galaxie des langues » (De Swaan; Calvet) et 2) les minorités nationales dans le cadre des États-nations dont ils sont citoyens. C’est à l’approfondissement de ces catégories et à l’étude de leurs intersections (p.ex. la migration) que je m’attacherai dans cette communication, afin de décrire la dynamique propre à l’autotraduction verticale.
• Elizabete Manterola Agirrezabalaga:Translating a (Self-)Translated literature:  Challenges of Direct Translation from a Minority Literature
  
  Spanish is the main target language of translations from Basque. It is hard to find direct translations in the exportation into other languages, as not many people learn Basque as a foreign language. Even though, one of the goals of the Basque literature is to produce direct translations in order to avoid the use of the Spanish version as the source text. This paper will analyze the efforts made so far in promoting direct translation.
  Some other interesting questions will also be addressed. As Spanish versions are vastly produced by the actual author, is it legitimate to translate a original book that has already been translated (or revised) by the author? If the target translator knows both Basque and Spanish, is it right to translate a book only from the Basque version or should the translator consult both versions (or even any other)? Opinions of professional translators will illustrate the difficulties that target translators have to face in direct translations from Basque.

Workshop Migrating Histories of Art: Self-translations of a Discipline

8-9.10.2015 in Florence, Italy

Annual Workshop of the International Research Group Bilderfahrzeuge. Aby Warburg’ legacy and the future of Iconology

organized by Maria Teresa Costa and Hans Christian Hönes

  

The workshop situates itself at the crossroads of art history and translation studies, exploring, for the first time, the problem of self-translation in the realm of art writing. One the one hand it seeks to provide a theoretical framework from Translation Studies, on the other hand it aims to offer case-studies from Art History and related fields, providing a unique and comprehensive overview on how a discipline defines itself through cultural transfers.

The workshop addresses these decisive migrations and considers how the adoption and processing of foreign-language texts and their corresponding methodologies have been fundamental to the disciplinary discourse of Art History, since the earliest days of its professionalization. The objects of investigation are both translations of texts by art historians who themselves migrated to other Sprachraums, changing their working language, and also the implication of this transfer for subsequent writings in the mother tongue.

In addition, the self-translations by art historians will be contextualised and juxtaposed against examples from other fields. This will lead to a case-based discussion of the theoretical and practical consequences of the understudied phenomenon of scholarly self-translation, especially with regard to the possibilities and limitations of the dissemination of art-historical methodologies (and therefore of the discipline itself). Consequently, the study of self-translations also addresses the problem of (un-) translatability of concepts and ideas.

The topics considered include:

• Self-translation as a theoretical phenomenon;
• Case studies on self-translation from art history and related disciplines;
• Reports and reminiscences of personal experiences with self-translations and self-translators.
