Cultural Translation and East Asia: Art, Film and Literature (an international conference at Bangor University, Wales)
Date: 7 - 8 September 2012

This interdisciplinary and international conference will be taking place at Bangor University, Wales from 7th to 8th of September 2012. Key notes speakers include:
  • Dr Julian Stringer, University of Nottingham
  • Dr Ming-Yeh Rawnsley, Leeds University
  • Nicky Harman: freelance literary translator, translator of Zhang Ling's Gold Mountain Blues, Yan Geling's Flowers of War and Han Dong's Banished.
  • Professor Masasahi Ichiki, Chikushi Jogakuen University

The aim of this interdisciplinary conference is to focus on questions of ‘cultural translation’ in all its forms and constructs. As global identity becomes increasingly defined by questions of communication across languages and cultures the role of ‘translation’ becomes key in the forging of new subjectivities.
