Last week, the PIETRA team (@GalwayOc @Yasmine_sayed92 @MennatallahMan4 @charliaz01) of @uniofgalway went to their very 1st conference at University College Cork to present their work on the Papal encyclical Laudato Sí and its ecology-related discourse. It was a great chance to enjoy Cork and see brilliant work done across Irish Universities at the 3rd Annual Conference of the Translation Studies Network of Ireland(TSNI)
Inspired by Cork’s legendary reputation as “Rebel County”, the focus of the third annual TSNI conference was on the potential for translation in all its forms as a radical force, resistant to linguistic and cultural homogenization, and open to alternative modes of writing, understanding and navigating the different societies, cultures and worldviews traversing our planet. From celebrating the creativity of rebel translators who have contributed to changing the ways in which we experience and interpret different writers, texts, source cultures and dominant poetics to acknowledging the role of activist translation in countering inequality and furthering societal and environmental justice, the agency of translator(s) in enabling everyday encounters with difference will be placed at the centre of
the conference programme.
