ARCHIVES, LANGUAGE, AND TRANSLATION
May 6-9, 2025. York University, Toronto
This Spring Seminar follows a series of summer schools and research seminars organized by Glendon’s Research Group on Translation and Transcultural Contact and the Centre for Research on Language and Culture Contact. We invite researchers working on projects that engage the conceptual and methodological intersections between archives, language, and translation.The seminar will feature guest speakers, and will be organized around three streams:
- Understanding the Archive. Discussions onconcepts and methodologies. This will be the opening stream of the seminar; participants will visit local archives and collections and explore their links with their own projects.
- Situating the Archive. Working sessions on region-specific projects. The seminar will have an emphasis on Canada, Latin America, and the Caribbean—work on other regions will also be included.
- Reading and Writing the Archive. Discussions on the intersection between archives and languages, translation, and discourse.
We invite scholars—including faculty, graduate students, and independent researchers – to apply. The seminar will complement the second CRLCC International Conference (May 9-10, 2025). Seminar participants are invited to attend and participate in the conference as well.
