PIETRA is a study of the foundations on which the Catholic Church builds its multilingual communicative structures. The project is funded by the European Research Council under its Consolidator Grant Scheme, Grant No. 101001478.
PIETRA is the first, large-scale, multilingual study of the translation products and processes that underpin communication in global religion.
The project focuses on translation practices in the institution of the Catholic Church and the multilingual communication of religious messages against a background of technological change. It poses key research questions relating to consistency of message in a large multilingual institution across different languages, cultures and communicative formats. PIETRA analyses the translation processes and products of the Catholic Church across three different media (print, web and social media) and in two different time periods to advance understandings of how multilingual dissemination intersects with technological change and institutional ideology.
PIETRA combines the latest advances in empirical translation research, data capture and analytics, with sociological and ethnographic investigations to form a model for the analysis of the products and processes of large-scale multilingual dissemination.
