9-10 Σεπτεμβρίου 2013 μία διημερίδα με θέμα τις μεταφράσεις της Βίβλου:
"Exploring Bible Translations and Other Texts"
Conference Description
Can a translation really be faithful to the original? The question
seems simple. But the answers given by experts are remarkably divergent.
Some consider fidelity in translation ultimately to lie outside the
realms of possibility. Others reject such pessimism, pronouncing
translation to be
necessarily possible. Yet others prefer to make
the best of it, and get on with the messy job. But why do views diverge
so radically? Why does the ordinary idea of ‘translation’ turn out to
be so knotty?
The question is particularly acute with respect to bible translation,
where perception of the text’s authority is often inseparable from
notions of its divine origin and where expectations of a text’s
transcendent truth must be reconciled with its historical particularity.
Bible translators and theologians often view bible translation as
essentially distinct from any other kind of translation. Is it?
As home to theologians, biblical scholars and philosophers Heythrop
is an ideal locus for this project. The conference takes bible
translation as a point of departure and moves beyond into the breadth of
translation studies. Our aim is to bring translators, philosophers,
theologians, linguists and anthropologists together to look again at
translation and how we might most usefully conceive it. The theorists
are invited to deliberate with translators, those who daily dirty their
fingers with the gritty business of translation. The result will be a
conversation that should open new ways of thinking about translation.
Delegates are invited to attend this fully catered two-day event,
funded by the Bible Society and Heythrop College. Join us in the
beautiful grounds of Heythrop College, Kensington Square, London, for
what promises to be a fascinating and thought-provoking meeting.
