SUMMARY:CBCP x OIW webinar series ‘Explorations in Translation for Children’ El Cuento Fantasma/ The Invisible Story
DESCRIPTION:The Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing in partnership with Outside in World\, the organisation dedicated to promoting and exploring world literature and children’s books in translation\, are delighted to announce the latest event in their seminar series on translation for children: \nThis webinar will explore Jaime Gamboa and Wen Hsu Chen’s El Cuento Fantasma\, its selection as part of Outside in World’s Reading the Way project\, and how it came to be translated by Daniel Hahn for Lantana as The Invisible Story. \nThis online webinar is free & open to all. To register for the Zoom link\, please click here. \nThe world is full of stories. Some are as long as lizards\, others so short that they never even make it to The End. But the invisible story is unlike any other story because no one has ever read it! It lives hidden in the darkest corner of the library\, far from where the famous tales\, written in gold letters\, shine. One day\, a blind reader approaches the story’s trembling pages. This reader is unlike any reader the invisible story has ever encountered. And when she runs her fingertips over the book’s white pages\, it is astonished by what she finds. A beautifully inclusive tale about sight-loss in which we learn that not all stories are meant to be read with the eyes. \nSpeakers: \nJaime Gamboa is an award-winning Costa Rican author and musician. His books have been translated into English\, Danish\, Korean\, Japanese\, Turkish\, Chinese and French. \nWen Hsu Chen is a Costa Rican artist and architect who graduated with BFA Honors from the Rhode Island School of Design. Her watercolor and cut-out paper technique has earned her multiple awards\, including the Grand Prize at the NOMA Concours 2008. \nAlex Strick is a children’s book author\, consultant\, reviewer\, and co-founder of Outside in World\, with a passion for putting children’s views and voices first. \nKyla is a student at New College Worcester\, the independent school for students aged 11–19 who are blind or partially sighted. Kyla is an enthusiastic braille reader. \nDaniel Hahn is a celebrated British writer\, editor and translator. In 2020\, he was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for services to literature and in 2023\, he won the Ottaway Award for the Promotion of International Literature.

SUMMARY:“Economic\, and Not Political”: The Beginnings of the Traditional Market Agreement
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Hyei Jin Kim – CBCP Visiting Research Fellow \nThis research seminar is a hybrid event & is free & open to all \n\nTo join us in person come along to Room 127\, Edith Morley building\, University of Reading (Whiteknights campus) **Followed by a ‘Welcome back’ social & drinks**\nTo join via MS Teams\, please register here\n\nHyei Jin’s paper investigates the largely forgotten Traditional Market Agreement (TMA) which has undeniably shaped the global trade of English-language books. Established by the Publishers Association (PA) in 1947\, the TMA divided the English-speaking world into British and American markets and granted British publishers the exclusive right to sell their editions across the empire (later the Commonwealth) throughout the 20th century. This talk will discuss the role the PA played in defining and defending the empire market in the 1940s. Examining the PA’s appeals to the British wartime government to promote book exports and its quarrels with American publishers\, the talk will illustrate how the PA extracted the “empire market” from the “empire”\, the economic from the political\, to maintain British publishers’ book exports to dominions and colonies that would soon become independent. \nSpeaker: Dr Hyei Jin Kim holds a DPhil in English from the University of Oxford. She researches the place of culture in international organisations such as PEN International and UNESCO and the role institutions play in structuring the international book trade. Her current project focuses on the material conditions of literature in English by examining the Traditional Market Agreement\, a division of postwar Anglophone publishing territories\, and its impact on literary publishing and reading.
