This two-day workshop will bring an international group of scholars together in a project that examines modes and media of translation in the early modern world. Focusing on collaborative learning, the workshop will feature a series of mini-seminars on work in progress by leading international scholars of the narratives and theories of translation in global scientific history, as well as master classes in translating early modern texts. Working across Eurasian contexts and into the Indian Ocean, participants will collectively explore the language-worlds of French, Chinese, Spanish, Persian, Manchu, Portuguese, Italian, and English as they have shaped the knowledge of bodies and their interactions. The event will launch an ongoing and multi-platform project devoted to translation and the sciences in early modernity.
