>     How do we talk about translation and translators, and what is revealed
>by our language and imagery?  Lori Chamberlain's "Gender and the Metaphorics
>of Translation" (1992) highlighted the prevalence of gendered metaphors of
>fidelity and reproduction in translation theory, demonstrating how value
>judgments about the very work of translation are encoded in the language
>used to discuss it.  But the language of translation studies is full of
>other figures, as well:  ghosts and doubles, slaves and traitors.  What do
>such figures and figures of speech teach us about the status of translation,
>and the status of translators?  About commonly held attitudes toward
>difference?  Although translation theory and criticism are rich sources of
>material for papers appropriate to this seminar, essays examining fictional
>representations of translators and the work of translation will also be
>welcome.
