Kolokvium Humanitné vedy v preklade – preklad v humanitných vedách bude simultánne tlmočené do slovenčiny.
The colloquium is co-organized by the Institute of World Literature of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, the Faculty of Arts of Comenius University in Bratislava, and CEFRES – French Research Center in Humanities and Social Sciences – Prague. This event is supported by the Slovak Research and Development Agency under the Contract no. APVV-21-0198.
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:
- histories of humanities translations
- translation and transfer of scholarly knowledge and their institutional contexts
- concepts, terminology, types of scholarly texts and their argumentation, stylistic conventions
- translators and key figures of humanities (case studies)
Apart from a standard conference module with a round table, keynote lecture and sessions, it will also host a doctoral seminar on May 14. Here a specially called up panel of experts consisting of prominent translation and humanities scholars will offer PhD. students greater feedback and an opportunity to discuss their work in detail.
Interpreting into Slovak will be provided. Visitors are welcome to attend the colloquium free of charge and without registration.
