This symposium marks the first anniversary of the Translation Studies
Doctoral Emphasis at UCSB. Translation engages both
national and cosmopolitan concerns, brings together diverse interests,
disciplines, and communities; translation crosses the divide between literary practice and theory, Western and non-Western world views.
