This module is offered as an option on both the MA in Chinese-English Bilingual Translation and Interpreting and the MA in Translation, and offers an engaging exploration of the historical development and current trends of key and emerging markets in the international translated literature sector.
With case studies from key national literary markets such as UK, Germany, Italy, Spain and mainland China, the module provides a valuable international perspective on the formation of the global market for translated literature since the early twentieth century and its technology- and fan-stimulated transformation in the digital era. In the module, students will analyse key themes relating to the distribution, prizes, book fairs, copyright and markets and be in dialogue with guest speakers from the publishing industry and literary translation field.
