International Conference Cultural Diversity and Funded Translations: Between Institutional Gatekeeping and the Market, Past and Present

April 20th–22nd, 2026
Rambla de Poblenou, 154-156, Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain
The aim of this conference is to discuss, from an interdisciplinary, sociological, and global perspective, how cultural diversity is represented in funded literary translations—both past and present—and how these shape the global circulation of texts, the publishing market, and cultural policies.
This conference is part of the research project Translating diversity: institutional agents and literary translation policies in Ibero-America (2001-2022) funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (MICIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033/FEDER,EU).
