Using examples from various national literatures, we would like to investigate the key concepts behind a “faithful translation”: what are the obligations of the translator to the source text, and what is the relationship between the original and the translation? Papers focusing on self-translations done by bilingual authors are also welcome. Please submit your abstract through the official Nemla portal only at https://cfplist.com/nemla/Home/S/21947

With the theme of (Re)generation in mind, this roundtable explores 21st-century cultural products created by women in Transatlantic and Latinx contexts. The works of prominent authors and filmmakers of our era (María Fernanda Ampuero, Liliana Colanzi, Mariana Enríquez, Belén Gopegui, Angélica Gorodischer, Rita Indiana, Carmen Maria Machado, Sara Mesa, Guadalupe Nettel, Mónica Ojeda, Anita Rocha da Silveira, Samatha Schweblin, to name a few...) reveal that women are still marginalized and disregarded within their societies. Still, despite the unsettling tone that often characterizes these works, they also offer bridges to more equitable realities made possible by powerful feminist coalitions and unconventional alliances.
