Translation Workshop

[Henryk Duda]

TRANSLATION WORKSHOP

In addition to language courses, which the Summer School of Polish
Language and Culture at KUL have been organizing for over 20 years, this
year, in July of 1998, the institution is going to run a workshop on
translation.  The objective of this planned meeting (of fluent speakers of
Polish and English) is a joint working  translation of chosen literary
texts and other Polish texts to English as well as an exchange of
experiences connected with translation work.  The workshop will be led by
Prof. Richard Sokolowski from the University of Ottawa (Canada), a
translator of Polish poetry into English (his translations include works
by Mikolaj Sep-Szarzynski and Tadeusz Rozewicz).
    The workshop will take place from 13 to 23 of July, and on the weekend
of 24 - 26 July its participants will have an opportunity to take part in
a trip to Krakow, organized for students of the Summer School.

Fee (including board and accommodation): 520 USD
    Meals will be provided in the refectory on campus. Workshop
participants will stay in twin-bedded rooms in a university dormitory.

The Workshop will take place on the condition that we will find a
sufficient number of people, from Poland and abroad, who are interested in
this  subject. Therefore, we would like to ask all potential participants
to contact us and, if they are willing, to offer suggestions on the
workshop program.
