11:00, AULA 2 DE LA FACULTAD DE TRADUCCIÓN Y DOCUMENTACIÓN

Conferencia sobre traducción intersemiótica a cargo de Ricarda Vidal (King’s College, London; investigadora principal de Experiential Translation Network)

What is Experiential Translation?

The aim of this session is to discuss experiential translation, what it might be and why/how it (potentially) informs translation practice. We will discuss multimodality, the active participation of the reader (translator) in the text as well as concepts such as “ludic translation” (Lee 2022).

I will begin with a brief overview of intersemiotic translation and trace my own journey from practice, i.e. conducting and instigating collaborative translation games where artists and translators work together or in parallel to explode a text into diverse forms of expression (e.g. poetry, dance, painting etc), to theory and back. We will then look at 3 artworks which were commissioned for the Experiential Translation Network exhibition, which was held in the UK in July 2022. We will discuss what is being translated and how translation was/is employed in the creation and reception of these works before participants will be invited to make a translation of one of the works themselves.
