Prior to this event, the University of Edinburgh has hosted three events in the Whose Voice… series, variously supported by the Institut Français and Goethe-Institut. As well as talks and panel discussions, the events have featured writers in conversation with their translators. Each Whose Voice… event deals with a different theme or set of challenges in translation. The first highlighted the importance of voice in many different settings, from interpreting to translating, acting to writing. The second focused on what happens to the voices of women in translation and interpreting, covering territory as diverse as interpreting for the victims of gender-based-violence, translating mommy blogs, and Dalit literature. The third event in the series was an evening dedicated to the translation of emotions. This event reflected on how translation mediates emotions in different contexts, with a particular focus on the role of translators and translation when conveying trauma.
