Hello, everyone,

I am a postdoctoral teaching fellow in the French and Francophone Studies Department at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. My research focuses on French and Francophone cinema (with a particular focus on film and genocide). Currently, I am working on representations of the Khmer Rouge regime in film and art.

Greetings!

I’m an assistant professor of French in the Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics at Florida State University. My research focuses on contemporary Maghrebi literature and film, with a particular interest in Algerian cultural production. I’m currently working on a book project, Aesthetics and Aftermath in Algeria, which…[Read more]

Hi, everyone,

I’m an associate professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and my research focuses primarily on discourses of the body in the contemporary literature of the Americas. I publish more on Hispanophone, Lusophone, and Anglophone authors in the Americas, but I do incorporate some Francophone American…[Read more]

By way of introducing myself… I am an independent writer/scholar whose work relates to the Francophone world. I live in German-speaking Switzerland but use French quite a lot and read French all the time. (Am a former French teacher, among other things.) Just finished Kamel Daoud’s spectacular “Meursault, contre-enquete”… working on an article…[Read more]

It has been a year since Claire Oberon García asked members of this forum to introduce themselves, a year in which the forum’s membership has doubled. I would like to invite you all once again to introduce yourselves to the group, and to use this forum to share calls for papers, works in progress or completed papers (see the articles on Aimé C…[Read more]

Quick clarification: I’ve just been informed that Translation Review is no longer the official journal of ALTA.  Apologies for the confusion.

I’m a PhD Candidate in the Spanish & Portuguese Department at Georgetown University, currently working on my dissertation on the role of fictional translators in contemporary Latin American and Spanish Literature. I’d like to help in whatever way I can. Thanks.

In addition to ALTA, it would be a good idea to reach out to ATISA as well:

Hi Nicky,

I can’t volunteer a lot of time, but I’d be willing to help collect and vet translation studies-related syllabi.

Best,

Melek

I can put you in touch with Edwin Gentzler, if no one else has already.

Hi Nicky, As Russell just mentioned,Alex Zucker and I (the current co-chairs of the PEN Translation Committee in NYC) are working on building resources with ALTA and ATA. We’d like to be in the loop as well! Our email is

pen.translation@gmail.com

On our webpage, we have a Model Contract for translations, a growing list of FAQs and other…[Read more]

Nicky, Erica is at ALTA not ACLA (you can find her email at the ALTA website — all their emails are @literarytranslators.org. Also, Sibelan Forrester (on this forum) is on the liaison committee for ALTA, and I’m the current president. So that connection is pretty much already in place. For ATA, the current president is Caitlin Walsh…[Read more]

Great ideas—and I’m glad there is enthusiasm for this topic. If any of you have a particular area, field, or issue you’d be willing to write about, please do let me know. I’ll contact Erica Mena at ACLA, but if any of you have a contact at ATA or would be willing to facilitate an introduction to Gentzler, that would be really helpful.
