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
Chair, AILC/ICLA Standing Research Committee on Translation Studies

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.
