About

The FUSP ā€“ Nida Centre for Advanced Research on Translation invites advanced graduate students and interested scholars to online gatherings with a hybrid format: via virtual access from anywhere in the world, associates will participate in an ongoing dialogue with faculty who will gather in person.
The 2025 FUSP Summer School focuses on materiality, acknowledging the burgeoning transdisciplinary interest in the experience of translation as an ā€œengaged, situated social practiceā€ (Campbell and Vidal 2024) involving ā€œmeaning-making across physical, social and cultural domainsā€ (Blumczynski 2023). Thematic directions include the study of translated objects (Vidal Claramonte 2025), the materiality of print culture (book history, periodical studies, archives), sites and artefacts in translation, the translator's habitus, and sensory encounters in techno-mediated environments.
This year marks the beginning of our collaboration with the research group on philosophy and translation, PHILTRA, based at the University of Padua.
We welcome you to bring your innovative research and share your questions with the reunited and constantly expanding scholarly community!

Course leader

Siri Nergaard

Target group

A maximum of 30 students will be accepted.
Applications are open to PhD students and researchers of translation in any discipline.

Course aim

The 2025 FUSP Summer School focuses on materiality, acknowledging the burgeoning transdisciplinary interest in the experience of translation as an ā€œengaged, situated social practiceā€ (Campbell and Vidal 2024) involving ā€œmeaning-making across physical, social and cultural domainsā€ (Blumczynski 2023). Thematic directions include the study of translated objects (Vidal Claramonte 2025), the materiality of print culture (book history, periodical studies, archives), sites and artefacts in translation, the translator's habitus, and sensory encounters in techno-mediated environments.
We welcome applications from students and researchers who wish to explore the many possible, and impossible, translational modes, in collaboration with faculty from our advisory board: Stefano Arduini, Brian James Baer, Paul F. Bandia, Susan Bassnett, Piotr Blumczynski, Bella Brodzki, Antonia CarceleĢn-Estrada, Kobus Marais, Christi A. Merrill, Babli Moitra Saraf, Siri Nergaard, Vicente L. Rafael, Carolyn Shread, Sherry Simon, Michelle Woods.
Our community is characterized by our commitment to dialogue. This exchange is what distinguishes our summer school: each day will be characterized by real time meetings with varied formats such as lectures, discussions, presentations, and small and large group conversations. Teaching, tutoring, discussing, advising, we seek to explore the possibilities of collaborative research in the spirit of sharing and inclusion. Our goal is to host a worldwide community engaged in real-time conversations over five days.
