Poetry in Expanded Translation

翻译似乎是语言之间的简单转换，但诗歌的翻译特别揭示了来自不同语言和文化界面的迷人的复杂性和丰富性。语言本身是不断变化的，诗歌的实验形式已经包含了词，意义和它们所居住的空间之间的复杂关系。随着21世纪世纪诗歌通过国际阅读、表演和节日扩展到不同媒体的可能性，它也扩展了翻译的可能性。诗歌一直在国际上流传。该网络将挑战普遍存在的自主单语诗歌传统的观点，同时发现语言之间的交流如何在艺术方面发挥作用，以及它如何将文化特殊性纳入视野。该网络将诗歌和翻译的从业者和评论家与视觉和声音艺术家聚集在一起，以发现跨艺术形式和文化创造和解释语言的新方法。它将分析实验传统的影响，继续建立不同语言之间的联系，并将发现向多语言观众呈现诗歌的新方法。通过与位于伦敦南岸中心的诗歌图书馆的联系，该网络将邀请学术背景之外的诗歌读者和实践者积极参与。尽管该网络主要位于英国和欧洲背景下，特别关注威尔士和法国，但它将关注非欧洲的影响以及不同文化和语言的共存。在机器翻译等技术使交流成为可能的时候，诗歌明显的不可译性使其成为创造性探索和理解跨文化差异的关键场所。该网络将通过研究跨语言诗歌的国际联系和遗产，发现诗歌如何在国际上传播。例子包括20世纪早期达达表演对当代声音诗歌的影响，或英国和美国诗人采用20世纪60年代法国Oulipo作家启发的数学程序。这些交叉潮流如何与当代欧洲的多种语言社区相结合？这些在实验性实践中的交流是如何被种族、阶级和性别所塑造的？合作如何促进文化间对话？跨国界的翻译伦理学提出了什么样的政治问题？视觉形式如何促进语言之间的过渡？该网络将考虑诗人和视觉艺术家之间的合作，探索文字，形式和图像在符号间翻译中的等效性，即用符号系统或艺术形式代替一种语言而不是另一种语言的翻译。这些以及新技术促成的新兴混合形式如何扩大文化间对话的可能性？在视觉环境中，有很多注意力的竞争，诗歌的作用有什么独特之处？闭幕会议将探讨声音在翻译中的作用。听另一种语言的诗歌是什么意思？在结合了不同媒介的表演作品中，翻译与倾听的政治、物理或生态维度之间的关系是什么？对噪音的考虑如何为倾听其他语言开辟新的途径？翻译如何揭示诗的不同表达方式？在翻译中讨论诗歌的声音时，音乐比较或词汇有多大帮助？反过来说，当我们谈论音乐作为一种语言时，它意味着什么？诗人与译者的关系可以与作曲家与演奏家的关系相比吗？闭幕会议将探讨这些问题和其他问题，发展关于如何向当代国际观众展示诗歌的新知识。

Translation may seem like a simple matter of transposition between languages, but the translation of poetry in particular reveals the fascinating complexity and richness that comes from the interface of different languages and cultures. Language itself is constantly changing, and experimental forms of poetry have embraced the complex relations between words, meanings and the spaces they inhabit. As twenty-first century poetry expands into the possibilities of different media through international readings, performances and festivals, it also expands possibilities for translation. Poetry has always circulated internationally. The network will challenge the widespread view of autonomously monolingual poetic traditions while discovering how exchange between languages works in artistic terms, and how it brings cultural particularities into view.This network will bring together practitioners and critics of poetry and translation with visual and sound artists to discover new ways of creating and interpreting language across art forms and cultures. It will analyse the impact of experimental traditions that continue to forge links between different languages, and will discover new ways of presenting poetry to multilingual audiences. Through its link with the Poetry Library in London's Southbank Centre, it will invite active involvement from readers and practitioners of poetry beyond academic contexts.Though located primarily in a UK and European context, with a special focus on Wales and France, the network will be attentive to non-European influences and the co-existence of diverse cultures and languages. At a time when technologies such as machine translation are enabling communication, the apparent untranslatability of poetry makes it a crucial site for the creative exploration and understanding of intercultural difference. The network will discover how poetry travels internationally, by examining international links and legacies that connect poetry across languages. Examples include the influence of early twentieth-century Dada performances on contemporary sound poetry or the adoption of mathematical procedures inspired by the 1960s French Oulipo writers by UK and American poets. How might these cross-currents engage with the multiple linguistic communities of contemporary Europe? How these exchanges in experimental practice shaped by race, class and gender? How does collaboration contribute to intercultural dialogue? What political questions are raised by a cross-border ethics of translation?How do visual forms contribute to transition between languages? The network will consider collaborations between poets and visual artists that explore equivalences of word, form and image in intersemiotic translation, that is, translation that substitutes sign systems or art forms rather than one language for another. How do these, as well as emerging hybrid forms enabled by new technologies, expand possibilities for intercultural dialogue? In a visual environment where there is much competition for attention, what is distinctive about the role of poetry?The closing conference will examine the role of sound in translation. What does it mean to listen to poetry in another language? In performance work that combines different media, what is the relation between translation and the political, physical or ecological dimensions of listening? How might considerations of noise open up new ways of listening to other languages? How can translation reveal different ways in which the poem 'listens'? How helpful is a musical comparison or vocabulary in discussion of the sound of a poem in translation? Conversely, what is meant when we talk about music as a language? Can the relationship between poet and translator be compared with that of composer and performer? The closing conference will investigate these and other questions, developing new knowledge about how to present poetry to contemporary international audiences.
