Methods in Translation History

12-19th September 2018,

Centre for Translation Studies, University of Vienna

After the success of the first international summer school on Translation History (13-20th September 2017) which focused on various theoretical and methodological aspects of historiographical research in Translation Studies, we are proud to announce the second international summer school on Translation History! This year’s event will specifically focus on questions of method in Translation History and their relationship to translation theory. We have invited renowned guest lecturers who represent a variety of methodological approaches and will share their knowledge about the usage of specific methods in interactive lectures to help advance the participants’ PhD-projects. The methodological issues to be discussed include the relevance and role of case studies, oral history in Interpreting Studies, and source critique. Also, the Viennese team will present their own specific approach to translation history. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in detailed and extensive discussions about their individual projects and present the methodological challenges they are facing.

We invite all PhD-students working on projects in Translation History to apply for this year’s summer schools. Check Application & Costs for more details.
