CETRA 2008
Twentieth Summer Research Seminar
Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium
18 - 29 August 2008
CETRA Chair Professor:
Kirsten MALMKJÆR
Middlesex University London
In 1989 José Lambert created a special research program in
Translation Studies at the University of Leuven in order to promote
research training in the study of translational phenomena and to
stimulate high-level research into the cultural functions of
translation. Since then, this unique program has attracted talented
PhD students and young scholars who spend two weeks of research under
the supervision of a team of prominent scholars, and under the
supervision of the Chair Professor, an annually appointed expert in
the field of Translation Studies. From 1989 on, the program has
hosted participants from Austria to Australia, from Brazil to
Burundi, and from China to the Czech Republic.
The list of CETRA professors may serve as an illustration of the
program's openness to the different currents in the international
world of Translation Studies: Gideon Toury (Tel Aviv, 1989), Hans
Vermeer (Heidelberg, 1990), Susan Bassnett (Warwick, 1991), Albrecht
Neubert (Leipzig, 1992), Daniel Gile (Paris, 1993), Mary Snell-Hornby
(Vienna, 1994), †André Lefevere (Austin, 1995), Anthony Pym
(Tarragona, 1996), Yves Gambier (Turku, 1997), Lawrence Venuti
(Philadelphia, 1998), Andrew Chesterman (Helsinki, 1999), Christiane
Nord (Magdeburg, 2000), Mona Baker (Manchester, 2001), Maria Tymoczko
(Amherst, Massachusetts, 2002), Ian Mason (Edinburgh, 2003), Michael
Cronin (Dublin, 2004), †Daniel Simeoni (Toronto, 2005), Harish
Trivedi (Delhi, 2006), Miriam Shlesinger (Tel Aviv, 2007).
