Meeting Description:

''The Tasks of the Translator: Developing a Sociocultural Framework for the
Study of Translation across the Early Modern World (15th-18th Centuries)''
Conference at Saint Louis University, March 20-21, 2017

The conference aims to bring together historians, social scientists, and
literary scholars whose work explores the experiences, backgrounds, and
legacies of translators and interpreters across the world from the fifteenth
through the eighteenth centuries. Studies of early modern interculturality,
globalization, and empire are increasingly taking language and translation
into account when analyzing cultural encounters and transmission. Analyzing
institutional and individual practices and strategies as well as the social
and cultural contexts in which translators and interpreters were embedded can
offer new perspectives about such encounters and cultural transmission. This
approach also promises to reveal new insights about the social, political, and
intellectual networks that translators and interpreters participated in and
helped construct.

Organizers: Dr. Claire Gilbert and Dr. Michal Jan Rozbicki, Saint Louis
University
