Translating Socialism International Symposium
October 18 – 21, Mather House 100 and KSL LL06.
This is the first major international symposium to focus solely on the literary translations made in socialist countries (both in Eastern Europe and Latin America) from 1959-1990. Many studies have been devoted to translation studies in the last few decades. Still, none has yet focused on the role played by literary translations within the socialist bloc and how the translation of literature became a political and ideological instrument to advance the formation of the socialist society. This symposium would help to rectify this situation.
The symposium will honor Pavel Grushko, one of the main Russian translators who made Latin American literature accessible and known in the former Soviet Union.
