Interest in reading, writing, and translating across languages, domains, and media extends widely at The Ohio State University. LiteracyStudies@OSU initiated a lecture series and working group in 2013 as a way to help foster conversation and cooperation.
The Literacy in Translation Series continues with a lecture by Anthony Pym, Professor of Translation and Intercultural Studies at Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Spain and Visiting Researcher at the Monterey Institute of International Studies. Pym has been invited to give a talk about his study of the Vatican’s translation policy. The cornerstone of that policy is called “inculturation.” The lecture will interrogate the origins of inculturation and attempt to apply it to other large-scale translation projects: world literature, the European Union, capitalism, modernity, even the university system.
This lecture is sponsored by Literacy Studies and Comparative Studies.
