The Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, Inc.

CULTURES IN TRANSLATION

Ninth Biennial International Conference 12-16 February 2013

Monash University, Caulfield Campus, Melbourne, Australia

CALL FOR PAPERS – NOW OPEN

The conference seeks to explore the many varieties of translation at work in medieval and early modern studies. We invite papers which deal with diversity and change in areas such as language, culture, religion, space. We are interested in exploring both how medieval and early modern cultures understood translation, and how modern scholars make disciplinary, linguistic and social translations in their work. We encourage papers on these themes (and others pertaining to medieval and early modern studies), and papers from postgraduate students and early career researchers are especially welcome.
