The medieval term translatio brings into contact linguistic, material, and cultural fields. It was attached to a group of related concepts: the physical displacement of objects, the rewriting of a text in a new language, or the transfer of meaning proper to metaphor. Eventually, writers of the Latin West began to employ the concepts of translatio imperii and translatio studii in an attempt to define their conflicted relationship with the authority and learning of Classical, Muslim, and Byzantine cultures the term thus expressed their understanding of cultural contact and exchange. Recent work has shown how these various iterations of translatio can indicate complex acts of cultural appropriation and re-creation, which renegotiated the opposing forces of old and new, the other and the self.

The present symposium will bring together scholars from diverse disciplines, in order to study the various modes and meanings of translatio. Papers might address such topics as: the adaptation of texts from one language into another in literary or musical sources; the transfer of themes from one medium to another (among, for example, texts, music, painting, sculpture, or textiles); the use of spolia in building or orfèvrerie; the translation of relics; the exploitation of Classical themes or narratives by medieval political figures or historiographers; the controversies over Biblical translation; the function of translatio as metaphor in religious or secular writing; the appropriation of words from one language into another.

The IMS-Paris is an interdisciplinary and bilingual (French/English) organization founded to serve as a center for medievalists who research, work, study, or travel to France. For more information about the IMS and the schedule of last year’s Symposium, please see our website: www.ims-paris.org.
