Department of Translation Studies at Yerevan State University

This week, our department had the pleasure of welcoming Professor Filippo Bazzocchi from CIELS Bologna and the University of Trieste.
During his visit, Professor Bazzocchi delivered a series of interesting lectures on grammar, particularly Russian verbal prefixes, on translation and interpreting, offering students an opportunity to look into linguistic questions from different perspectives and across different languages.

We were happy to host prominent translation scholar Brian Baer from Kent State University, who delivered two lectures: “Translation and/in Time” and “Translation Journals and the Making of Soviet World Literature: From Techne to Device.”
The lectures focused on translation history, Soviet world literature and the role of anthologies and journals in literary culture. Dr. Baer spoke about how translation can shape the way history and literature are understood and how Soviet translation journals reflected political and cultural changes of their time. The lectures were followed by interesting discussions with students and faculty members.
