DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\n\nIn the early decades of the twentieth century\, a
 s the European literary enclaves of Hebrew literature began to move and co
 nsolidate their operations in Palestine\, translation reinforced its statu
 s as a major\, indispensable component of modern Hebrew literary productio
 n. In this talk\, I will discuss the Hebrew translation economy in Mandato
 ry Palestine and specifically address the role that the translation of poe
 try played in the development of Hebrew as a national literary language. D
 rawing my examples from the 1942 anthology\, Shirat rusiya (Russian Poetry
 )\, I will show how Hebrew poet-translators engaged literary translation a
 s a mode that simultaneously supported and unsettled the nation-building p
 roject.\n\nAbout the speaker: \n\nAdriana X. Jacobs is Associate Professor
  of Modern Hebrew Literature and a Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Hebrew 
 and Jewish Studies and St. Cross College. She is also on the steering grou
 p of the research program Oxford Comparative Criticism and Translation (TO
 RCH/St. Anne’s College). Her book\, Strange Cocktail:Translation and the
  Making of Modern Hebrew Poetry\, was just published by Michigan Universit
 y Press.\nSpeakers:\nAdriana X. Jacobs (Oxford)
