Literary Back-Translation

Project: Research

Description

I have created and am the admin of a website listing known cases of literary back-translations, and calling for contributions from researchers and the wider public across the world, to enlarge the online catalogue: their contributions are all gratefully acknowledged.
World-leading impact:
- Building “literary back-translation” as a subfield of translation studies
- Establishing a worldwide community of researchers working in that subfield
- Mentoring young researchers across the world and encourage them to contribute (easier than writing an article, yet they get a presence on the web)
- Enabling, encouraging, and empowering marginalised nations seeking re-appropriation of key texts for their cultures through literary back-translation (decolonisation)
