American Literary Translators Association 2009 Conference (Pasadena, CA)

Posted by NITA Administrator on October 31, 2009

The American Literary Translators Association (ALTA) 2009 Conference Committee invites you to Pasadena for a celebration of the confluence of cultures and languages that characterizes Southern California.

This year’s ALTA conference will feature the intersection of translation and the entertainment industry, including film, legitimate theater, and music. Additionally, we will take a close look at the pedagogy of translation and the increasing visibility of literary translation in academia.

Of course, you can expect the usual complement of provocative panel discussions, as well as an exciting selection of bilingual readings, expertly coordinated, as always, by Alexis Levitin. We’re happy to report that Barbara Paschke will once again be in charge of Friday night’s ever-popular Declamación.  And we’ve invited three prominent keynote speakers associated with Latin American, Asian, and European literature in translation, respectively.

• Location: Hilton Pasadena, 168 South Los Robles Avenue, Pasadena, CA 91101
