Translation Diaries
The Translation Theory Lab is free and open to all translators, near and far, working in any language pair, who have an interest in the background questions, the theory and ethics of translation.
Join us for our bi-monthly translation workshop, open to anyone interested in discussing the ethics of and possible approaches to literary translation.
In the first half of 2024, we will be discussing some of the translation diaries published by
Toledo – translators for cultural exchange: you can read all of the
translation diaries shared in English here. Links to the diaries being discussed will be shared in advance of the session via our mailing list, and we would ask you to read and reflect on the journals specified in preparation for the sessions.
The discussion group takes place online via Zoomfrom 6.30pm to 8.00pm, and is free to attend.
