Singapore International Translation Symposium 2014

 
Following the successful launch of the first Singapore International
Translation Symposium (SITS) last year, this year's event will once again
welcome local and foreign speakers and participants from academia,
industry and the arts to discuss topical issues related to language
translation.

 
The theme for 2014 is “Theory + Practice”, in which we discuss the
pertinent issues and processes related to the two tracks of theory and
practice. Invited speakers include Dr Henry Liu, Vice President of the
International Federation of Translators (FIT); the writer/director
husband-and-wife team Colin Goh and Yen Yen Woo; world renowned literary
translators Andrea Lingenfelter; Prof Harry Aveling; and Lakshmi Holmström.

 
In conjunction with the Symposium, a four-day intensive Literary
Translation Boot Camp
<http://www.theartshouse.com.sg/Programmes/EventPage.aspx?EventID=3516>
will be held from 12 – 15 May. Organised in collaboration with the British
Centre for Literary Translation, the boot camp will focus on translating
Singapore literary works from Chinese, Malay and Tamil into English.

 
The Symposium is co-organised by The Arts House and Interlexis.
