I said last week that that there’d be a hiatus in this blog while I prepared for and attended the symposium Interpreting... Naturally at Castelló de la Plana. I should have added “and recover from it.” It was a very successful meeting, with participants from countries as far apart as Austria, Britain, Canada, Hong Kong, Israel, the USA, and of course Spain itself. But what really bowled me over was the warmth of the atmosphere generated there. It could have been a dutiful acknowledgement; instead it was a celebration.
I want to say a sincere thank you to the organizers at the Jaume I University and everyone involved. The variety and quality of the papers are a proof that any survey of translation studies, or for that matter of bilingualism, which still ignores the topics of this blog (see sidebar) is missing out on something serious.
I’ll have more about it, but for the moment there are some loose ends to tie up. Next post tomorrow.
It was simply a great symposium. As a translation student at Jaume I university I've attended three conferences about different translation/interpreting issues, and I must say this has been the best. Thanks Mr. Harris for coming to our university. It's been a pleasure for us.
