5th BABEL PUBLIC LECTURE SERIES
Dr Michele Milan:
Translation, Gender and Conflict: Women Translating Conflict in Nineteenth Century Ireland
Predicated upon the idea of using translation history to raise the visibility of past women’s writings, this presentation will draw attention to the ways in which a number of women translators dealt with situations of conflict in nineteenth-century Ireland. We will be looking at their choice of texts for translation at times preceding or following intense conflict, and how the translated text helped them express a voice in a predominantly male world of publishing.
The Babel Lectures is an initiative of the School of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, NUI Galway, which intends to reinforce the connection with Galway through an annual series of lectures especially designed to promote creative exchange and dialogues between academics and the community.
Entrance is free, and everybody is welcome.
