Virtual Conference, June 1— 3, 2022
Organizers : Prof. Dr. Efrat Gal-Ed, HHU•
Prof. Dr. Sabine Koller, UR • Daria Vakhrushova, M. A., HHU
Translation has been vital to the growth of Yiddish literature since its beginnings in the 13th century. In the 20th century, the yearning to belong to world literature manifested itself in brilliant feats of translation. The focus of our conference is on the Yiddish literature of diverse historical moments in its transnational and translational character. Our topics include translation theory, criticism and history; translation processes and practices from and into Yiddish; the infrastructure and interconnection of actors such as translators and publishing houses; questions of self-translation, intermedial and cultural translation and the function of translation in the context of world literature.
External guests should register for the conference with the email address: yiddish-and-translation@ur.de. Zoom links will be sent out shortly before the event.
