Authenticity and Imitation in Translation and Culture

Authenticity and Imitation in Translation and Culture

We invite papers and presentations approaching the issues of authenticity, imitation and translation from possibly broadest theoretical and methodological perspectives such as Translation Studies, Literary Criticism, Critical Theory, Cultural Studies, Feminist and Gender Studies, Queer Theory, Philosophy, Sociology, History of Ideas, Colonial and Postcolonial Studies…, fully realizing that a strictly single-disciplinary approach is nowadays hardly thinkable.
