Centre for Translating Culture
Dr Ting Guo’s current research focuses on the translation and travels of scientific concepts between Europe and East Asia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries
Dr Capdevila Argüelles’ recent research focuses on how the pre-civil war New Woman translated her identity and continued to exist during the years of Francoism
This exhibition, curated by Alister Mill for James Kearns’ Painting for the Salon project, analysed the ‘translations’ between Artist, State & Jury from 1830 to 1852
Arnold Dreyblatt’s 'The Great Archive' refers to the disappearances of many during WWII and the Holocaust, in an installation of names that can only intermittently be read
The Centre provides a context to draw together work on ‘Translating Cultures’ within the University. We interpret translating cultures broadly and explore migrations, border-crossing, exile, diaspora, adaptation, intermediality and multimedia from the 1100s to the present day.
Seminar series
We often invite visiting scholars to contribute to our seminar series, and organise events in collaboration with other research centres.
Conferences and events
Our events are open to all postgraduate students and researchers. We explore the problems and possibilities of translation.
