Registrations CLOSED



This workshop is intended to be an introduction to poetry translation.

The workshop will consist of two parts.


The first part will be a general discussion about the nature of poetry translation, its goals, methods and main achievements. Various approaches to poetry translation will be explained, as well as their differences, their strong and weak points.

The second, practical part will give you the opportunity to translate into your native language or English a short love poem by a great Russian poet, Alexander Pushkin (1799-1837), using a word-by-word English crib and a full explanation of the original Russian text. Every participant is free to use the method of poetry translation which resonates with him or her.

The event will conclude with the discussion of these translations and the answers to any questions from the audience. The presenter would like to emphasize that his intention is not so much to delve into the seemingly endless theoretical discussion of poetry translation, but rather to share his own practical insights into this art form, based on many years of experience.

Presenter

Vladislav Nekliaev (Vlanes) was born in 1969 in Astrakhan, Russia. He has degrees in journalism, Ancient Greek and Latin, as well as a PhD in Russian and Translation Studies from the University of Queensland (2007). He is the author the first Russian translation of Dante Gabriel Rossetti's sonnet sequence "The House of Life," published, with extensive commentaries, in Moscow in 2009 and 2018. In 2010, Vlanes won the prestigious Thomas Shapcott Poetry Prize for his poetry manuscript "Another Babylon," which was published in 2011 by the University of Queensland Press. Vlanes is currently translating the extant tragedies of Euripides from Ancient Greek into Russian. He lives in Brisbane, Australia.
