Conference - Translation and the Circulation of Knowledge in Early Modern Science
Margaret O. Meredith (Maastricht University) - Translation in Context: the sociable mediation of translation in Imperial Europe, 1750-1800
In recent decades, scholars have offered myriad new insights into the exchange and propagation of scientific ideas in the early modern Republic of Letters. Within this vibrant field, however, the part played by translation and translators remains little studied. This colloquium will explore the role of translation in early modern science, providing a forum for discussion about translations as well as the translators, mediators, agents, and interpreters whose role in the intellectual history of the period remains ill defined and deserves greater attention. |
