Special Session I: UNESCO Memory of the World (MoW) Location: KINTEX 1 Grand Ballroom Chair: Youngmin Kim, Dongguk University 2025 ICLA CONGRESS SPECIAL SESSION1 - YouTube Special Session I: UNESCO Memory of the World (MoW) Memory of the World: A Cooperation between the ICLA and the UNESCO Documentary Heritage Programme
Part I: Podium Chair: Youngmin Kim Chair, Organizing Committee of the 2025 International AILC/ICLA Congress Speakers: 1) Jan Bos Chair, MoW International Advisory Committee (IAC). Title: What is the Memory of the World program and how does it relate to ICLA? Short description of talk: Vision, mission, short history and present activities of the Memory of the World program The Memory of the World International Register Memory of the World and ICLA: areas of common interest
2) Lucia Boldrini President, International Comparative Literature Association (AILC/ICLA, 2022-2025) Title: The Critical Eye of Comparative Literature Short description of talk: In my presentation I will consider not only the importance the ICLA’s partnership with the Memory of the World programme, but also how it can provide a necessarily critical eye, thanks to its long history of engaging in and with the criticism and self-criticism of the disciplines of comparative literature, world literature and translation, individually and in their combination, in their histories and their practices. This can bring nuance and complexity to apparently straightforward assumptions about the intrinsic value of activities such as literary comparison, or translation as bridge-building.
3) Lothar Jordan Chair, MoW Sub-Committee on Education and Research (SCEaR) Title: Memory of the World and Comparative Literature: How We Can Work Together.
Short description of talk: The Presentation introduces some fields of education and research that are interesting for both Comparative Literature and the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme (MoW) like the history of translators and translations, the reconstruction of Lost Memory, e.g. of dispersed libraries, the relation between oral literature and documentation, and some more.
4) E.V. Ramakrishnan Chair, AILC/ICLA Standing Research Committee on South Asian Literatures and Cultures Title: Translation as Palimpsest: From Textual Traces to Cultural Archives
Short description of talk: Oral cultures of memory conceive of 'texts' and 'archives' differently. While mediating between 'subcultures' and 'dominant cultures', interculturally or intra-culturally, translation often takes on the role of a legitimating agency, thereby misrepresenting the nature of cosmologies they (subcultures) are founded upon.
