Whereas translation should be understood as the production of a full-length target text, often (but not necessarily) the work of a scholar, acts of ‘translating’ can be found in texts that are not necessarily conceived of as ‘translations’ nor as explicitly drawing on ancient Greek material. In the three previous Oxford-Paris conferences, it has become amply evident that it is imperative to distinguish between ‘translation’ and ‘translating’. This complex nexus requires a cross-cultural, multilingual and collective effort. Support from: The Leventis Foundation, Université Sorbonne Paris Nord, the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama (Oxford), UCL Centre for Early Modern Exchanges, and the University of Grenoble.Įarly modern translation theories and practices need to be discussed in relation both to ancient theory and performance, and to early modern theatre theories and practices.
