公開講演会「Literature, Translation, and Diplomacy 文学・翻訳・外交の近縁性」
INFORMATION
外交官としての長年のキャリアのかたわら、翻訳研究者、翻訳家、詩人としても活躍するスティリャノス・フルムジアディス氏（駐日ギリシャ大使館次席）に文学、翻訳・通訳、外交の近縁性について、イオルゴス・セフェリス（外交官・ノーベル文学賞受賞者）の例を含めてお話いただく。
The lecture will explore the interface between literature, translation, and diplomacy. I will focus on the particular traits of diplomacy as a highly intellectual profession, requiring extremely well developed linguistic, writing, and communication skills. After delineating diplomacy’s characteristics and challenges, I will proceed by talking about translation - firstly as a practice that has traditionally accompanied diplomacy from the beginning of times, and then as a relatively new discipline, the history of which draws, at times, heavily from interpretation and translational practices within a diplomatic context. Lastly, I will talk about literature as the vehicle of predilection of diplomats, many of whom have reached worldwide acclaim, not the least as Nobel Laureates. The last claim will be exemplified by means of an enumeration of some prominent authordiplomats, with a special focus on George Seferis, a Greek diplomat and Literature Nobel Laureate (1963).
