Lawrence Venuti: Translation, Intertextuality, Interpretation (LitStudies@OSU)

Lawrence Venuti
October 11, 2013
All Day
311 Denney Hall

Known widely for his work in translation theory and history as well as his many literary translations, Lawrence Venuti, professor of English at Temple University, will present the “Translation, Intertextuality, Interpretation” on Friday, 10/11 at 11:00 a.m. in 311 Denney Hall. Intertextuality enables and complicates translation, preventing it from being an untroubled communication and opening the translated text to interpretive possibilities. To activate these possibilities, Venuti argues that we must work to theorize the relative autonomy of the translated text and increase the self-consciousness of translators and readers alike.
