SUMMARY:CTIS Seminar: Translation in Museums: A Geosemiotic Analysis

DESCRIPTION:Multimodality has received considerable critical attention in
  translation studies over the last decades. However\, how translations i
 nteract with or within three-dimensional material space is still under-r
 esearched. This study proposes to use geosemiotics (Scollon & Scollon 20
 03) and space syntax (Hiller and Tzortzi 2011) as the theoretical framew
 orks to explore this new territory. In this talk I will present a case s
 tudy of translations in St. Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art in Gl
 asgow. This case study takes the view of museum as a multimodal space\, 
 and is underlined by two assumptions: first\, space is an intrinsic aspe
 ct of human activities\, not just background\; second\, meaning is const
 ructed not only through properties of spaces but also relations between 
 spaces. To operationalize the analysis of spaces\, I investigated the mu
 seum in four ranks of spaces: museum surroundings\, the museum building\
 , exhibition rooms\, and displayed objects. The aim of this case study i
 s to explore whether\, and (if so) how translated museum texts may affec
 t how target readers perceive the museum space\, and their experience in
  this multi-faith museum.
