Studying the history of translation is a practice taking place in the present – a present trying to understand itself by looking at its past. In order to facilitate this understanding, Chronotopos introduces a new section: On a regular basis, Chronotopos will include thematic foci in its issues that bring together papers on a specific topic related to the history of translation and interpreting. This way, Chronotopos can function as a discursive hub and create reference points for future projects.

This conference is canceled due to Covid-19, but abstracts will be accepted for the edited volume until April 30, 2020.

Digital Holocaust Memory Roundtable Event

As Holocaust denial and neo-Nazism proliferate online, taking stock of how the digital may (or may not) be useful in perpetuating Holocaust memory has never been a more urgent inquiry.
