San Pellegrino University Foundation || Misano Adriatico, Italy
October 6 - 10, 2014
Welcome to the Nida School of Bible Translation!
The primary purpose of this multi-agency event is to help participants deepen their understanding of various approaches to translation that have been developing and gaining currency in recent years, with direct implications for and impact on the work of Bible Translation.
During our week in Misano, we will spend our time exploring two broad topics together:
In anticipation of engaged discussions and interactive sessions, we are asking all participants to come prepared, having already familiarized themselves with the following texts:
- Snell-Hornby, Mary. (2006). The Turns in Translation Studies. Amsterdam: John Benjamins Publishing. Chapters 1-3 (pp. 1 -114). [Available online. Click here.]
- Nord, Christiane. (1997). Translating as a Purposeful Activity. Manchester: St. Jerome Publishing. [This is a worthwhile book to purchase and will be referenced extensively in the seminar.]
As our gathering in October draws nearer, we hope that this site will become a hub of activity and communication. Be sure to check back often for the latest information, updates and topics of discussion. You should also feel free to pose questions of your own, whether directed to a particular individual from your personal ‘Inbox’ or opened up to the whole group on the ‘Discussion’ page.
We look forward to welcoming you in person when you arrive on the beautiful Italian Adriatic seacoast this fall. In the meantime, click on the links below to read further important information about travel to and from Misano, as well as about various other aspects of the school itself.
Blessings as you prepare for our Multi-Agency NSBT!
