"Enric Valor" Conference Room - FFTiC

Thursday 2 May 2024

This one-day conference explores the intersection of translation, gender, and censorship during the Franco dictatorship. While the morning talks are given by specialists in the field, the afternoon will feature undergraduate and graduate students sharing their research. The presentations will address the role of translation in the dissemination of foreign literature, and how censorship, in this case exercised by the Francoist censorship apparatus, was responsible for withholding and transforming texts by key feminist writers, and for constructing, through the control of translations and other cultural productions, a particular image of femininity.

Organised by: CiTrans and the Universitat de Barcelona

Collaborate: Vice-rectorship of the Equality, Diversity and Inclusive Policies, IULMA, Master's Degree in Creative and Humanistic Translation
