Translator Anna Štádlerová, philosopher Josefína Formanová, and Petra Diestlerová, Programme Director at Euromedia publishing house and a translator, discuss the social value of the translator as an expert on the work being translated and the culture it comes from.
What can the work of a literary translator involve within the text itself? What does a translator’s role entail beyond working with the text? And what added value does a human translator bring compared with technology—for example, as a guide to another culture, world, and context? And what light can reading high-quality literature shed on our lives?
Moderated by Saša Michailidis.
