The conference From morals to the macabre in translation for children will take place on the occasion of the 160th anniversary of the first publication of Heinrich Hoffmann’s controversial classic Der Struwwelpeter in Polish. Special focus is thus on the journey of this children’s classic across various languages, historical epochs and translational cultures. We will also take this anniversary as a starting point to consider how such issues as morals, nonsense, grotesque, humour and the macabre – all part of Hoffmann’s Struwwelpeter – have been tackled in translations for children.
We are interested not only in investigating renditions of textual production for children, but also in other material such as films and games created with the child recipient in mind. Translation is understood broadly, and thus includes such specific types as literary translation, audiovisual translation, localization and media accessibility.
As the conference focuses on translation for children, we invite both practitioners (authors, publishers, translators) and scholars working in translation studies, children’s literature studies, book history, pedagogy and other related disciplines that can provide promising lines of research. We welcome proposals that work with a variety of methodologies, from established text analysis to empirical research and data-driven approaches (digital humanities).
Conference languages are English and Polish.
Conference publication (peer-reviewed) is planned.
