East European Multicultural Space

Home

“East European Multicultural Space" was the first international conference held at Batumi Shota Rustaveli State University devoted to the post-Soviet politics and its impact on culture in Georgia. The goal of the conference was the promotion of the interdisciplinary research in new directions of language and culture, scientific enrichment, sharing experience and holding a creative dialogue between Georgian and international researchers on such significant issues as history, literature, translation, and interdisciplinary research. Translation Studies was one of the special focuses of the conference as it has been part of the cultural and literary studies. After the demise of the Soviet Empire not much has been contributed to the metaphor of postcolonial translation or to the minority languages of the USSR and translation into the dominant language of the Metropolis. Could we hear authentic voices in the translations? Can we now?
