§ I·Posting Excerpt

The American Comparative Literature Association invites papers for a seminar at the intersection of Craft Studies and Translation Studies, asking whether handicraft and translation should be understood as acts of transformation and invention rather than mechanical reproduction. Papers may trace the historical entanglement of craft and translation from preindustrial artisanal cultures through industrial capitalism, mechanization, and AI-driven machine translation, and interrogate the hierarchies that separate art from craft and authorship from labor.
