Description
The “official” view on translation through the first 100 years of the Turkish Republic
The talk explores the perspectives of the Republic of Turkey on translation throughout its first century and uses six national publishing congresses and their printed reports and/or minutes as evidence for tracing the trajectory of translation, as an activity, profession, and a cultural and educational instrument.
I will argue that the "official" view on translation took a series of turns which were all closely aligned with national political concerns.
