CfP - Online conference "Stylistic Border Crossings in and beyond Translation" (9-10 March 2023)

[Eugenia (Zhenia) Kelbert]

Dear colleagues,

Please consider contributing to the upcoming online conference on stylistic border crossings on 9-10 March 2023. 

When do stylistic features developed in one language cross into another? What happens when they do? To what extent do they remain the same in another linguistic context? What are the limitations to recreating stylistic characteristics of a text in another language? How can this phenomenon be studied systematically beyond translation studies and what existing theoretical approaches can help clarify the processes involved? How will accounting for them affect the discipline? 

This conference offers a venue to discuss cross-lingual stylistic transfer as an approach to understanding crucial aspects of today’s globalised literary market. It will address the question of stylistic border crossings in four sections: (1) translation, (2) influence, (3) multilingualism and (4) theoretical approaches.

  

This event is co-hosted by the University of East Anglia's British Centre for Literary Translation (BCLT) and the East Centre (EC).

The deadline for abstracts is 31 January 2023; please get in touch if you'd like a few extra days - this can be accommodated with prior agreement.
