BOOK OF ABSTRACTS_LIVRET DES RÉSUMÉS

The colloquium brings together translation and humanities scholars from all around the world, experts starting out in the field as well as established prominent figures to explore the circumstances of non-literary transfers and translations (philosophy, sociology, arts, history, linguistics, etc.) and to study the commonalities and differences between Western and Central-Eastern Europe in this respect. The contributions will focus on the following areas of expertise:

1. histories of humanities translations
2. translation and transfer of scholarly knowledge and their institutional contexts
3. concepts, terminology, types of scholarly texts and their argumentation, stylistic conventions
4. translators and key figures of humanities (case studies)

Organizátorom konferencie je Ústav svetovej literatúry SAV, v. v. i., v rámci grantového projektu VEGA 2/0127/23 Slovenská literatúra v medziliterárnych a transkultúrnych súvislostiach.

Ako môžeme uvažovať o malých literatúrach v kontexte svetovej literatúry? Obidva pojmy – „malá literatúra“ a „svetová literatúra“ – nie sú samozrejmé ani vedecky ustálené. Zámerom konferencie je vytvoriť priestor pre produktívnu diskusiu a polemiku o týchto otázkach, ktoré by mohli otvoriť nové spôsoby myslenia o literatúrach Strednej Európy. Zaujíma nás, ako tieto literatúry komunikujú s inými literatúrami a vytvárajú medziliterárne komunity, ako cirkulujú v preklade alebo sa stávajú súčasťou svetového literárneho systému, ako vidia svoju vlastnú identitu, v ktorých literárnych centrách hľadajú inšpiráciu alebo potvrdenie, a či je pojem „národná literatúra“ ešte stále  užitočná kategória. Kladením týchto otázok chceme otvoriť širšiu diskusiu o vzťahu medzi „malými literatúrami“ a „svetovou literatúrou“, lokálnym a globálnym, centrum a perifériou, národným a postnárodným.

In this journal issue, edited by Johannes D. Kaminski, an international group of scholars discusses European, American, and Chinese texts that cover a wide spectrum of imagined peace, ranging from naïve enthusiasm for top-down solutions to dejected elegies for the demise of civil liberties. The utopian appeal of peace, both in a political and spiritual sense, belongs to the powerful drivers of the human imagination. Yet the rhetorics of peace are difficult to untangle from the realities of war; after all, efforts that supposedly serve a higher purpose frequently result in injustice and violence.

The issue will be presented by three authors of the studies:
Kilian Jörg (Independent Artist and Scholar): Messy utopianism and the question of war: What does “staying with the trouble” mean in relation to war?

Anton Matejička (Faculty of Philological and Cultural Studies, University of Vienna): Totalitarian systems and their peaceful alternatives in Karin Boye’ s Kallocain and Olga Ravn’ s The Employees

The event will be moderated by the issue’s editor Johannes D. Kaminski.
