(Re) thinking translations

Methodologies, objectives, perspectives

In the last four decades, scholars have begun to go beyond the traditional perspective of linguistic and literary studies, and to consider the translations as cultural practices and the result of various processes of cultural and intellectual “negotiation” between two different contexts. In recent years also historians have progressively started to take a close interest in translations as sources to investigate the ways in which knowledge and ideas were constructed, disseminated, re-elaborated and assimilated in new cultural, social and political contexts. The aims of this international conference is to encourage an interdisciplinary dialogue on these problems, bringing together scholars, graduate students and early career researchers from Translation Studies, History, History of Book, History of Science, Literary Studies and related disciplines who are interested in discussing methodologies, objectives and perspectives in the study of translations.

Food, glorious food

Food at the heart of nineteenth-century art

For this conference, we welcome papers that discuss how the development of the food industry and the changing notion of “taste” and social mores are reflected in nineteenth-century art in the broadest sense. Papers may concern visual arts including graphic arts in the form of illustrated advertisements and culinary literature, as well as nouveautés (objects which were designed to reflect the evolution of eating and table manners).

The Transatlantic Embrace: Spanish Civil War in America’s Intimate Distance

"Forma" Revista d'estudis comparatius. Art, literatura, pensament

Spanish Civil War has been studied under its multiple angles. This can also be said about the literature concerning this topic: novels, poems, and all literary forms generated by this armed conflict (both by Spanish and foreign intellectuals) have been commented by academic criticism from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. However, fewer approaches have set the axis of their critical focus on the importance of the Spanish conflict in America and its decisive relevance as a part of a phenomenon that is also American. This special number of the FORMA journal sets out to give a voice to all types of contributions able to shed a new light on this fundamental aspect of the war, whose causes and consequences are clearly rooted in Spain, but whose horizon overflows the peninsular and continental borders and requires an inevitably transatlantic point of view.

Tracing types

Comparative analyses of nineteenth-century sketches

A new wave of scholarship has emerged in recent years, which examines nineteenth-century sketches (sometimes referred to as “panoramic literature”) from a transnational perspective. The present international conference seeks to continue this comparative reflection by placing the spotlight on the comparative analysis of texts and images of specific types and by tracing how these representations vary across sketches from different places, media and editorial contexts.

Books in books : roles, representations, meanings

Fourth issue of the Mémoires du livre / Studies in Book Culture journal

Ce numéro de Mémoires du livre / Studies in Book Culture vise à examiner comment se déploient le livre et les métiers du livre dans les œuvres fictionnelles (poésie, roman, théâtre, chanson), toutes époques et tous corpus confondus. Les articles pourront relever de l’histoire du livre et de l’édition, de la sociologie du littéraire ou encore de la sociocritique, mais privilégieront un questionnement méthodologique ouvert. This issue of Mémoires du livre / Studies in Book Culture sets out to study how the book and its related professions are portrayed in works of fiction (poetry, novels, drama, lyrics), in a melding of eras and corpuses. Articles may be based on the history of the book and book-publishing, the sociology of literature or even social criticism, but will privilege a methodologically liberal interrogation process.
