Directionality in Translation: Theory and Practice

Activity: Participating in or organising an eventParticipation in conference

Description

Challenging the long-held belief that translators should only translate into their
'mother tongue,' this event brought together researchers and translators for
interactive discussions on the complexities and benefits of challenging stereotypes
openly, issues of terminology, and the tension between theory and practice.

The event featured a hands-on workshop with Nariman Youssef and Cecilia
Rossi, where participants explored translating into or out of their first language.
A panel discussion followed with experts Barbara Ivančić, Lúcia Collischonn,
Marta Dziurosz, and Mohini Gupta, chaired by Nariman Youssef. The day wrapped
up with readings and a Q&A session with editors Nashwa Nasreldin and Richard Village, offering a practical, industry-focused exploration of directionality.
