ArgumentThe aim of this workshop is to contribute to the discussion about the complex and multi-faceted interactions engendered in the translation of knowledge between cultures across space and time, as well as the aspects inevitably involved in the process of both its transmission and reception. The contributions address the translation of concepts, also examining the lexical changes initiated by the influx of new or foreign knowledge, and that of practices, i.e. concrete examples to be found in the process of translating knowledge, which in turn entails its interpretation and adaptation.This workshop seeks to analyze the different dimensions and aspects of knowledge translation: linguistic/epistemic, as a historical process, as mutations and transformations of words, actions and practices, also exploring the motives of agents involved in knowledge translation processes, among others. Moreover, knowledge translation involves circulation processes, which lead us to pose the following questions: Why, how and where does knowledge circulate? In turn, this implies the compelling task of looking into different scales, global and local. In terms of materialization of knowledge translation, when does it take place? Is it preceded by different itineraries of knowledge circulation, collection and elaboration? Conceiving translation as transformation involves tracing the origins of new forms of knowledge and construction of meaning from a cross-cultural perspective. Last but not least, appropriation is also part of all these processes, when translation could involve appropriation by the receiver, but not necessarily.OrganizationOrganized by Ana Carolina Hosne (Paris IAS - National University of San Mart&#237;n) and Antonella Romano (Centre Alexandre Koyr&#233;, EHESS)Programme12 Janvier14:00 - 14:45&#160; Mot de bienvenue et introductionSession 1 : Misunderstandings and incongruities: the thorny issues of knowledge translationChair : Laura Le&#243;n Llerena (Northwestern University, USA)14:45 - 15:30&#160; &#8220;Traductions, m&#233;tissages, doubles malentendus ou co-mensurations dans les missions j&#233;suites du Paraguay&#8221;&#160;Capucine Boidin (IHEAL / Paris 3)15:30 - 16:15 &#8220;Lexical Analogies and Conceptual Incongruities: the Persian Translation of Ayurvedic theory in Early-Modern South Asia&#8221;&#160;Fabrizio Speziale (Paris 3)16:15 - 16:30&#160; PauseSession 2 : Translating science and the natural worldChair : Antonella Romano (CAK / EHESS)16:30 - 17:15&#160;"De Madrid &#224; Paracuaria en passant par Mexico et&#160;vice versa&#160;: le naturalisme salutaire de Juan Eusebio Nieremberg traduit en guarani dans les missions j&#233;suites du Paraguay" Thomas Brignon (ENS de Lyon)17:15 - 18:00 &#8220;Translating Geographical Knowledge in Sixteenth-Century France&#8221;Oury Goldman (CRH-EHESS)18:00 - 19:00 Table ronde - Discussion13 JanvierSession 3 : Translation in between texts and material cultureChair : Ana Carolina Hosne (IEA de Paris / UNSAM)9:00 - 9:45 &#8220;Chinese painting mnemonics: Translating&#160;practical&#160;knowledge&#8221; Monica Klaising Chen (University of Leiden)9:45 - 10:30 &#8220;Translating stones: dealing with Indigenous material culture in colonial Peru&#8221; Laura Le&#243;n Llerena (Northwestern University, USA)10:30 - 11:15 &#8220;One China&#160;or small textual communities: the evidence from excavated and received texts&#8221; Michael Nylan (IEA Paris / UC Berkeley)11:15 - 11:30&#160; PauseSession 4 : What lies beneath knowledge translation: Transmission, reception and mediationChair : Antonella Romano (CAK / EHESS)11:30 - 12:15 &#8220;The transmission of Western political culture and history at the Mughal court, ca. 1600&#8221;&#160;Corinne Lef&#232;vre (CEIAS-EHESS / CNRS)12:15 - 13:00 &#8220;Reception and Mediation of Foreign Works on China in Spain, 1850-1950&#8221;&#160;Xavier Ortelles-Nicolau (Universit&#233; de Barcelone)13:00 - 14:30&#160; D&#233;jeuner14:30 - 15:15 Discussion - Table ronde
