There is a particular interest in exploring, through consideration of these specific projects, the definitional, conceptual, theoretical and methodological issues that the Translating Cultures theme has generated thus far, as well the theme’s current shape, scope and scale.Programme10.30 Arrivals and coffee11.00 Introduction (Charles Forsdick)11.15 Session One—EncountersNandini Das; Siobhán Shilton; Anne Witchard12.45 Lunch14.00 Session Two—Beyond the Text: Transmedial CulturesSusan Daniels &#38; Ruru Li; Lucile Desblache; Genevieve Warwick15.15 Coffee15.30 Session Three—Multilingual Contexts: Translating KnowledgeEmma Campbell; Hilary Footitt; Prue Holmes16.45 Concluding remarks&#160;Contributors to the workshop:Emma Campbell (University of Warwick), Fellowship Award, Translation in Medieval Francophone Texts and ManuscriptsSusan Daniels &#38; Ruru Li, Leeds (University of Leeds), Research Networking Award, Staging ChinaNandini Das (University of Liverpool), Fellowship Award, An edition of Levant Travels, South Asia, and Anglo-Ottoman Diplomacy in Richard Hakluyt's Principal Navigations (1598-1600)Lucile Desblache (Roehampton University), PI, Research Networking Award, Translating MusicHilary Footitt (University of Reading), PI, Research Development Award, Languages and international NGOs: cultural knowledge in communities in crisisPrue Holmes (Durham University), PI, Research Networking Award, Researching MultilinguallySiobhán Shilton (University of Bristol), Fellowship Award, Transcultural Encounters: Postcolonialism in the Visual ArtsGenevieve Warwick (University of Edinburgh), Fellowship Award, Sculpture in Painting: Medial Translations in Renaissance ArtAnne Witchard (University of Westminster), PI, Research Networking Award, China in Britain, Myths and Realities
