Markus Nornes' SWET talk

[Mark Schilling]

I thought this notice of Markus' talk to members of SWET (Society of
Writers, Editors and Translators) might be of interest to the list -- I'm
planning to write it up for the SWET newsletter. Hope to see a few of you
there!

>    Any time a motion picture or television show crosses a linguistic
> frontier, an army of translators makes this border crossing possible. The
fact of translation, however, is rarely acknowledged. An array of
institutions--from film studios to universities--suppress the means by
which our cinematic experience of the foreign is mediated. It follows that
we can learn much about the quality of these encounters by focusing on the
figure of the translator.
