This conference invites scholars to explore issues of (in)visibility and auto/hetero-representations of translators in both translations and their paratexts. A particular focus will be placed on translations to and from French, spanning from the early modern period to the present day. This thematic and temporal framework seeks to foster comparative insights and to re-examine long-standing assumptions about the evolving status of the French language in transcultural processes of visibility, legitimacy, and authority construction, both within France and across the broader francophone world.
Keynote Speakers
Marie-Alice Belle (Université de Montréal)
Patrick Hersant (Université Paris 8)
The event will take place on the 4th and the 5th of November at Ghent University in the Faculty Library of Arts and Philosophy (Rozier 44, 9000 Ghent)
