The lecture is organized as part of the VEGA project Translation and translating in the history and present of the Slovak cultural space. Transformations of forms, status and functions: texts, personalities, institutions<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Why and how did a historian of international relations come to study translation? The answer to this question must be sought within the broader context of interstate relations in the twentieth century, with a focus on the trajectories of those involved in translation. The lecture aims to propose a typology of translators and to examine their motivations and professional backgrounds: how did Czech, Slovak, or French speakers come to translate from Czech or Slovak into French? What kind of language training did they receive? What ideological frameworks shaped their translations? Particular attention will be devoted to translations into Slovak, approached primarily from a historian\u2019s perspective, with emphasis on the historical context in which these translations were produced and received rather than on their literary dimension.<\/p>\n
