Jacob Blakesley (University of Leeds) About Sociologies of Poetry Translation


Both Translation studies and Gender Studies are inherently interdisciplinary fields, but the connections between these two disciplines are not always present or explicit. This lecture will first look at some concepts and approaches used in Gender Studies, and then will go on to explore how Translation Studies has incorporated gender in its theoretical approaches and practices. It will illustrate some challenges of translating feminist theories across cultural contexts. Then, it will outline the typologies of studies that have incorporated gender perspectives into several modes of translation. In short, this lecture will try to reflect on the translatability of Gender Studies and on the gendering of Translation Studies.
