Translation in a Global Community: Theory and Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

September 24 \u2013 28, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"X-Ray<\/a><\/span>You\u2019re translating right now. We all do it every day \u2014usually unconsciously\u2014from written to oral, from images to text. Even with people we know who share our language and culture, our brains constantly finesse ways to make ourselves understood and to understand. Our increasingly interconnected planet scales up our reliance on translated messages exponentially. Whether it\u2019s negotiating peace at a diplomatic table, reading a novel in a foreign tongue, or learning how to change a spark plug from a car owner\u2019s manual, translators are there, building a bridge.<\/p>\n

The 2013 Clifford Symposium invites students, faculty, staff, and the community to explore many forms of translation, and to show how translation and translators contribute to a complex cultural environment. The Symposium will feature faculty members from Middlebury College and the Monterey Institute of International Studies, authors, linguists, and artists.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
