Medieval Translator 2010

CALL FOR PAPERS







Papers are invited for







Medieval Translator 2010




In principio fuit interpres




The Cardiff Conference on the Theory and Practice of Translation in
the Middle Ages







To be hosted by the Università degli Studi di Padova

Italy







23-27 July 2010










Linguistic and literary traditions include translation in their myth
of origin - thus the linguistic and scholar Gianfranco Folena
proposed to substitute the motto In principio fuit poëta with the
humbler In principio fuit interpres. Following his suggestion, we
welcome papers addressing translation in the Middle Ages, marking the
relationship between classical, Middle Eastern and vernacular
languages, and studying translation as the representation of ideas
and texts in different media.




Plenary speakers: Roger Ellis, Domenico Pezzini, David Wallace.




Papers may be given in English, French, or Italian, and should be
twenty minutes long. Please send a 500-word abstract and brief
curriculum vitae by 31 August 2009 to:




Alessandra Petrina and Monica Santini

Dipartimento di Lingue e Lett. Anglo-Germaniche e Slave

Via Beato Pellegrino, 26

35100 Padova

Italy




Or as an email attachment to both these e-mail addresses:

alessandra.petrina@unipd.it

monica.santini@unipd.it







Further information about the conference will be available in Spring 2009.




Following previous practice, it is planned to publish a book of
selected papers in the peer-reviewed Medieval Translator series
(Brepols) following the conference.

représentation d'idées et de textes dans différents médias.
