Part of the CTIS Research Seminar Series. All welcome, no registration necessary. Abstract: The presentation will focus on an ongoing research project (2015-2017) aiming at producing an anthology of Arabic discourse on translation, articulated around two iconic periods in the Arabic translation tradition, the Classical Age of Arab Science (9th-10th centuries) and the Nahda period, or Arab Renaissance, in the 19th century. The overview and contextualisation of the project will be followed with a discussion of the methodological and epistemological challenges encountered in the construction of an anthology framed in the disciplinary context of translation studies, and its growing body of historiographical and historical research.
