ICLA Research Committee on Translation Studies
The ICLA Committee on Translation Studies convenes at least once annually. We host a panel at the ACLA Annual Meeting, and at the ICLA Meetings. Our purpose is to promote research and inquiry into translation theory and practice within the framework of Comparative Literature. While we welcome insights from language-pair specific work or data-driven studies, our seminars and publications tend to focus on the impact of translation on society and politics and on literary and intellectual history. Our members find translation indispensable for understanding a wide range of historical and contemporary phenomena from the protection of human rights to the marketing of literature.
