Nordic Translation Conference, London
«The Nordic Translation Conference will take place March 6, 7, and 8, 2008, at the Institute of Germanic and Romance Studies in London. This will be the first conference of its kind, the first to focus solely on the Nordic languages and their translation. The conference will look at literary and non-literary translation, both between various Nordic languages and also between English and the Nordic languages. Nordic here refers to Danish, Faroese, Finnish, Greenlandic, Icelandic, Norwegian, any of the Sámi dialects, and Swedish.
The speakers will include Douglas Robinson, Kirsten Malmkjær, Geoffrey Samuelsson-Brown, Janet Garton, and Martin Næs. Several Nordic authors will read from their most recent books. In addition, the conference will include panels and workshops on relevant topics. The conference dinner will be at the Houses of Parliament.
Academics, practicing translators, writers, publishers, project managers or others who work with translators, and those who are interested in language and culture are all welcome.»
