CONFERENCE: LITERATURE AND TRANSLATION
With a keynote address by DAVID DAMROSCH
11-12 July 2011
Monash Caulfield Campus, Melbourne
Where literature exists, translation exists. The very notion of literature would be inconceivable without translation. Goethe believed that without outside influences national literatures rapidly stagnate. Authors have always borrowed and been influenced by writers in other languages.
AALITRA was pleased to be a co-sponsor of the international conference “Literature and Translation” in collaboration with the Australasian Association for Literature (AAL) and the Literature Research Unit at Monash University. The keynote speaker was David Damrosch (Harvard University).
The audio recording of David Damrosch’s keynote address “Translation and World Literature” is available here: David Damrosch on Literature and Translation
