  Translating Shakespeare between the East and West

  Birmingham, UK

  Wherever you are, East or West, you will be able to join our conference and enjoy a diverse range of presentations. It will bring together Shakespeare scholars, translation studies scholars, theologians, theatre practitioners, educators and anyone who loves Shakespeare. By inviting different speakers in the area of Chinese Shakespeare from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, the US and the UK to speak on the translatability of theatrical productions of Shakespeare in China in different periods – it is hoped that meaningful discussions will come about on differing translatability issues and socio- political factors underlying these translations at different points in time. This conference will represent the first of its kind that can stimulate thought-provoking discussions regarding the range of problems and opportunities arising from both the original texts and the target languages and cultures which combine to make Shakespeare translation the rich field that it is today.

  Deadline: 01.10.2024.
