(2020) | UNECC - University Network of European Capitals of Culture,
Patrick Lonergan, Catherine Morris, Barry Houlihan, Steven Hadley, Donncha OConnell, Cassie Smith-Christmas, Daniel Carey, Sean Crosson, Tadhg O Hifearnain, Emily Cullen Davidson, Tina Karen Pusse, Pilar Alderete Diez (2020) In 2020 European Capital of Culture status was awarded jointly to Galway in the West of Ireland and to Rijeka in Croatia. While the actual ECOC for both cities have not been totally cancelled, their offer has been much reduced by the nature and impact of the global pandemic. Universities often play a major role in the ECOC of their city either in forging research focused on the arts throughout Europe, in working with city councils in evaluating the bid or in defining new cultural and educational initiatives within their local communities. In Ireland, NUI Galway was due to host the University Network of European Capitals of Culture (UNeECC); an academic network that comprises almost 50 member universities from 20 countries located in cities which have been, are or will be European Capitals of Culture. In place of this annual conference, we are instead inviting interdisciplinary contributions to an online Special Issue of the University Network of European Capitals of Culture.

(2016) | Re encountering the Cannon: Literary Translation and Contemporary Iberia,
Pilar Alderete and Owen Harrington Fernández (2016) This symposium seeks to explore the role of literary translation with regard to canon formation in the context of modern and contemporary Iberia, with special focus on aspects such as the competing interests of academic, educational and publishing norms; translation policy, subventions and patronage; dissemination, marketing and reception; and new approaches to the phenomenon of re-translation. It aims to facilitate a space for discussion of the ways in which literary translation may contribute to the (re)construction and/or consolidation of a canon by looking at developments such as the recent English translations of classics from the different languages of the Iberian Peninsula and the consolidation of new publishing houses such as Hispabooks, a Spanish press that publishes fiction from Iberia in English translation. The symposium also sets out to examine the negotiation and reframing of shifting and competing notions of identity through translation both into and out of the different.
