SUMMARY:Translations’ copyright/translators’ copyright: a history of power imbalance in the Italian book trade
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n\nSpeaker: Anna Lanfranchi – Teaching Fellow in Translation & Transcultural Studies & Italian at the University of Warwick\n \nThis research seminar is a hybrid event and is free & open to all. \n\nTo join us in person come along to Room 124\, Edith Morley building\, University of Reading (Whiteknights campus) \nTo join via MS Teams\, please register here\n\nSeminar topic:\nIn the second half of the 19th century\, international legal frameworks gave to the authors of literary works a new level control over the translation and publication of texts across national borders. While recognising the status of translations as original works in their own merit\, authors and translators faced different challenges in the rapidly changing transnational landscape. Drawing on research on the post-Unification Italian publishing industry\, the paper discusses the different treatment of translations’ and translators’ copyright in the first half of the 20th century\, and explores the consequences of such power imbalance for the structural and professional development of the Italian book trade. \nAbout our speaker:\nAnna Lanfranchi is a Teaching Fellow in Translation and Transcultural Studies and Italian at the University of Warwick (UK). Her research focuses on transnational book history from the 19th century to the present day. She has published on Italian translation and publishing history\, wartime book programmes\, and intellectuals in the book trade. Her first monograph\, Translations and Copyright in the Italian Book Trade: Publishers\, Agents\, and the State (1900-1947) (Palgrave 2024) explores the legal frameworks and the professional networks informing the negotiation of translation rights to British and US works in Italy in the first half of the 20th century. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\nDate:\n February 13 \nTime:\n\n5:00 pm – 6:00 pm\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\nRoom 124\, Edith Morley building\, University of Reading (Whiteknights campus)\, RG6 6EL\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n  \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Richard Bradley Lecture - The Past in the Present by Professor Laurent Olivier
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \n\nThe Department of Archaeology is excited to welcome Professor Laurent Olivier of the French National Museum of Archaeology to deliver our inaugural Richard Bradley Lecture. The archaeological past continues to occupy the present\, even though its time has long since passed. This talk will explore the idea of ‘transformission’\, whereby the archaeological past is transformed as it is transmitted. It will also consider how the ‘Great Acceleration’ – the rapid increase in human activity which began in the mid-twentieth century – is crushing both past and future into a dead-end present. \nCan archaeology\, which restores the memory of people and places\, become a tool of resistance the age of devastation introduced by the advent of the Anthropocene? This lecture will be held in honour of Richard Bradley\, Professor Emeritus of Archaeology\, whose work has transformed our vision of the archaeological past. We hope to see many of you there! \nFor more information contact: d.j.garrow@reading.ac.uk \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
