Translating Greek Drama (1600-1750) - 10-11/12/2020, Online (Zoom)
Understanding the early modern reception of ancient drama is a cross-cultural, multilingual and collective effort. Recent diachronic explorations of ancient theatre in translation have recorded and analysed translation theories and practices in separate European languages, especially English and French. Drawing momentum from the European scope of previous collections, the aim of this conference is to bring together researchers focusing on translations of ancient Greek drama throughout Europe between 1600 and 1750 and, in collaboration with the translation database at the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama (Oxford), provide a platform to gather and exchange information on three different levels.
FECHA/DATE/DATA: 10-11/12/2020
UPDATE: Due to the current situation, the conference Translating Greek Drama (1600-1750), which was supposed to be held in Paris on 11-12 June 2020 at Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, has been postponed to 10-11 December 2020.
