Description

The talk explores the perspectives of the Republic of Turkey on translation throughout its first century and uses six national publishing congresses and their printed reports and/or minutes as evidence for tracing the trajectory of translation, as an activity, profession, and a cultural and educational instrument. I will argue that the "official" view on translation took a series of turns which were all closely aligned with national political concerns.
