On 10 and 11 October 2019, the University of Innsbruck hosted the international conference "Translating Cultural Memory in Fiction and Testimony – Memory Studies and Translation Studies in Dialogue", organised by Prof. Claudia Jünke from the Institute of Romance Studies at the University of Innsbruck and Prof. Désirée Schyns from the Ghent University.
Scholars from universities in nine different counties (Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal and the United Kingdom) met in order to scrutinise the points of contact and cross-fertilizations between cultural memory studies on the one hand and translation studies on the other.
Conference speakers from the following British universities took part: University of Warwick, University of Westminster, University of East Anglia, Durham University, University of Strathclyde and University of Edinburgh.
BritInn supported the participation of Prof. Susan Bassnett from the University of Warwick and Prof. Lucy Bond from the University of Westminster, who were both Keynote speakers at the conference.
