The translation festival ‘Translating (in) Europe’ will take place from 22 to 29 November 2010 in Naples’ most emblematic venues: the universities and schools, buildings, castles, squares, streets and alleys, bookshops, theatres, ships and docks of a revamped city. This event will be the opportunity to reflect on the identity of Naples as a crossroads, an in-between place where the Orient, Europe and the Mediterranean can come together. →

Our Spring 2010 digital rights survey is now public
Serious concerns about legal and illegal distribution of digitized literary translations have led us to hold this survey. The main goal was to make a sort of ‘snapshot’ of literary translators’ copyright situation in the new and rapidly changing market of digital rights in Europe.
We wanted to find out:
- which digital publication forms are already being used
- if literary translators usually cede their digital rights or not
- what kind of remuneration literary translators get for the use of their work for digital publications
- what is the status of digital rights
Not surprisingly, the results show huge differences between European countries, not only with regard to the nature and volume of digital/electronic
publishing, but also in terms of remuneration. →
