Convenor: Liz Oakley-Brown (Canterbury Christ Church University )
This interdisciplinary seminar aims to promote a lively interrogation of Shakespeare and the Cultural Politics of Translation in Early Modern England. In recent years the marginal position which has defined translation practices has come under increasing and sustained challenge. Through the exploration of a range of Shakespearean texts it is hoped that the session will significantly further the critical debate. 1-page abstracts are invited from those interested in any aspect of Shakespeare and the ideological implications of the term ‘translation’ between the sixteenth and early eighteenth centuries.
Topics might include but are not limited to:
- corporeality
- nationhood
- gender
- adaptation
- colonialism
- the self
- history
- travel
- illustration as translation
