Book Platform at the VI Forum of Translators and Publishers

The VI Forum of Translators and Publishers, which takes place annually in Yerevan, this year was more international than ever before. In addition to the participants from CIS and Baltic countries, the Forum had invited guests from Germany, the Netherlands, France and other EU countries. The intensive 3-day program featured a presentation of a summary of all results of the Book Platform studies on translations from Armenian into 11 other languages. Yana Genova of Book Platform highlighted and analyzed bibliographic data, major conclusions and strategic recommendations deriving from the studies. Despite the growth of interest in foreign publishers after year 2000, translations of Armenian literature are still dominated by classical and 18c - 19 c. texts, with very little contemporary living authors accessible to non-Armenian speakers. Further, the studies detected the existence in some places of "two markets" for translations from Armenian: the one of the diaspora and the general reading audience in the country of translation. Genova's presentation provoked discussions that mainly took place in-between the sessions. The PP summaries in English and in Russian are accessible here.
