The University’s Faculty of Arts will be organising a lecture entitled ‘Roses by different names – do they smell as sweet Style, Status and Invisibility in Literary Translation’ by Clare Thake Vassallo, as part of its Literature and Comparison Research Seminar Series.
The lecture will be held in Lecture Theatre 1 at theUniversity tomorrow at 6.30 p.m.
The lecture will explore the issue of what readers expect from translated texts. It will discuss the role the translator’s interpretation plays in the rewriting of a text, and will ask whether the status of translators would be improved if their role was made more visible.
Dr Thake Vassallo lectures in the Department of Translation and Interpreting and in the Department of English, and has interests in semiotics, literary translation, feminist literature and criticism, and the Early Modern period.
