Literary Translation Residencies in Europe
~
In 2000, several translation centres joined together to form Réseau Européen des Centres Internationaux de Traducteurs littéraires (RECIT), the European network of literary translation residencies.
Today, the network includes 141 European literary translation centres in 13 different countries. Many new translator residencies have recently been established, especially in southeastern Europe, and their concepts have diversified. The host organisation of residency programmes in cities often acts also as a literary agent2. It connects the resident with fellow literary translators, authors and publishers of the source language, and contributes to the promotion of the country’s literature. -
