Alternative Discourse Frames: literature, translation, and thought - MAD

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2025-664

 
Description of research activity:

The group is organised around the research and critical analysis of artistic expressions from various English-speaking traditions and other European cultures. At its core, we examine literary works through a critical epistemological lens, drawing on contemporary methodologies and post-structuralist perspectives. With an interdisciplinary approach, we engage with artistic objects by incorporating insights from Translation Studies, Literary Theory, Comparative Literature, and current philosophical trends, treating these domains as interconnected areas of reflection to explore the contemporary significance of literary texts and other forms of aesthetic expression. We also consider their metatextual, paratextual, intertextual, and contextual relationships as ¿translation zones¿ (Apter), where disciplines converge. These points of intersection challenge monolingual, essentialist, and monolithic views in our engagement with artistic works.
