As soon as the American led countries won the Second World War in 1945, there was a constant fight between European identity and American pressure to mitigate the militant nationalism that had caused two world wars. Now, the efforts are being made to understand the process that contributed in the demilitarization of European countries by the American governments and also the role translation of European magazines played in setting up a new narrative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, the recent developments show that Europeans are curious\nabout a few facts on the steps taken to reduce jingoism in European societies.\nIn one such attempt a joint Anglo-German research project is looking into the topic\nand set to spend the next three years studying the “Spaces of Translation:\nEuropean Magazine Cultures, c. 1945-1965.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ambitious Project to Study the role of translation <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the project is headed by Professor Andrew Thacker of\nNottingham Trent University and Professor Alison E. Martin of the Faculty of\nTranslation Studies, Linguistics, and Cultural Studies at Johannes Gutenberg\nUniversity Mainz (JGU), the people behind the project claim that there would be\na great research work and some revolutionary findings in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A sumptuous amount of EUR 340,000 from the British Arts and Humanities\nResearch Council (AHRC) and the German Research Foundation (DFG) has been set\naside for the project. Since a lot of curiosity is there with respect to the\nrole translation in the setting up new narratives post-second Word War in the\nlate 1940s and then in 1960s, the project will be examining a selection of\nliterary and cultural magazines published in English-, French-, and\nGerman-speaking countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studying Notions of European Identity <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the writings and magazines tend to have higher impact in\nsetting up narratives studying them is important to understand the extent of\nimpact. Following these principles the researchers will investigate their use\nof translated literary and political texts that have played massive role in constructing\nnotions of European identity. A major shift was took place from the end of the\nSecond World War to the mid-1960s and still leaving great impression on the\nglobal affairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, the second world war Europe also set ground work for rapid\ndecolonization as most of the colonial powers were unable to control their\ncolonies in Africa and Asia. Whereas the winners like Britain were not in\ncondition to fund their occupation, the Germans, Italians and others losers did\nnot have any choice. Overall the post-war period saw huge decolonization\nhappening as nearly three dozen countries got freedom within ten years time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not just decolonization, the Americanization of European culture and society was also seen soon after the world war was over. Additionally, there was comprehensive rise of anti-militarism, and the strategic and ideological conflicts instigated by the Cold War. The project will be a massive study that may become a reference material for future research work on the role of language translation<\/strong><\/a> in setting up narratives. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
