Meeting Description:
The symposium aims to explore new perspectives and conceptualisations of untranslatability which go beyond traditional comparisons of target texts with their sources. The issue of untranslatability is an important topic to address in light of current debates surrounding world literature, but the spectre of untranslatability has haunted translation theory since its inception.
