The main purpose of the workshop is to gain insight into a part of history that is often overlooked, that is, translated history.

How have translators and translations shaped history in general and literary history in particular?
How has translated literature been read and discussed throughout history? What characterizes translations from different periods?
What role does the ideological stand of the translator play?
How is intertextuality manifested in translations? How do we write the history of translations and translators?

These are some of the questions that we hope to shed light on during the workshop.
