CENTRE FOR TRANSLATION STUDIES

THE CENTRE FOR TRANSLATION STUDIES

The Centre for Translation Studies conducts talks, workshops and other allied activities on topics pertaining to the field. The activities of this Centre are of interest to a wide section of the College community and beyond. It opens reflections on languages as registers of distinctive and irreducible cultures, while at the same time emphasizing the cross-cultural need for translation. Through our programmes, we hope to explore the conjunction between the twin aspects of translation, that is, praxis and theory. While literary translation is the focus area of the Centre, we attempt to broaden the range of our speakers to reflect the interdisciplinary reach of translation related processes.
In the academic year 2021-2022, the Centre organised a series of online talks and interactions with field experts and practitioners on a wide range of topics related to literary translation. Theoretical and academic questions, as well as practice-based discussions on specific translation projects were the focus of discussion. The linguistic ambit of the discussions/speakers included Bengali, English, German, Hindi, Persian, Telugu, Turkish and Urdu.  All of these were enthusiastically attended by members of the College, and were joined by prominent academics and others based in various national and international locations. The following events were held:
