DESCRIPTION:How to translate dialect? This task is often deemed to be impo
 ssible. Dialect can be used to great effect in literature\, yet it challen
 ges everyone: writers\, readers and translators. The challenges are not on
 ly linguistic (how do you translate likesay in Irvine Welsh’s Trainspott
 ing?)\, but also inevitably raise political\, social and cultural issues. 
 And yet\, many inventive and acclaimed literary translations show that tra
 nslating dialect is not only possible\, but can open up unique creative po
 ssibilities and reveal affinities even between the most distant language p
 airs. This workshop will explore dialect through text and sound\, hands-on
  exercises and examples from a wide range of languages.\n\nDr Kotryna Gara
 nasvili is a writer\, translator\, and interpreter working with English\, 
 Lithuanian\, French\, German\, Russian\, and Georgian. She is an Assistant
  Professor of literature and translation\, teaching and researching at Vil
 nius University and University of East Anglia\, where she has received a P
 hD in literary translation and serves as a member of the BCLT Research Gro
 up. She is a mentor as well as a previous mentee of the Emerging Translato
 r Mentorship at the National Centre for Writing and has been awarded train
 eeships at the EU Council and the European Parliament.
