Instituto Cervantes Symposium – Call for Papers
Call for Papers
The Observatorio of the Instituto Cervantes at Harvard University invites researchers, lecturers and professionals in the field of translation, interested in the Spanish language and Hispanic cultures, to present their work to the academic community. This year’s Symposium, to be held on May 30th-31st in a hybrid format (both remote and in person), aims to delve into translation between English and Spanish in the United States. The keynote lecturers will be Patrick Zabalbeascoa (Full Professor of Translation at University Pompeu Fabra, Spain) and writer and literary translator Rubén Martín Giráldez (invited with the support of the Cultural Office of the Embassy of Spain in Washington, DC).
We welcome paper proposals offering not only academic reflections on the role of translation but also presentations on the issues and professional reality of translators and interpreters in the multilingual and multicultural environment of the US. The papers must be original works and may be presented in English or Spanish. The deadline for proposals is March 31st.
