ワークショップについて
日時:2023年3月21日(火)~3月23日(木)
会場:早稲田大学国際文学館
Over the three days, you will work with experienced literary translator Ginny Tapley Takemori to produce a shared translation of a short text by acclaimed author Sayaka Murata, discussing options and challenges as you go along. Sayaka Murata will join the workshop to talk about the text and answer your questions. This style of workshop, inspired by the British Centre for Literary Translation annual summer school, is a creative, collaborative exercise, providing a nurturing environment for literary translators to work together on their craft.
The workshop is generously supported by the Tadashi Yanai Initiative for Globalizing Japanese Humanities at UCLA and Waseda University and is run in collaboration with the National Centre for Writing.
