LISBON — The Armenian Communities Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation has embarked on The Calouste Gulbenkian Translation Series which will make seminal texts in the humanities and the social sciences available in Armenian, as well as significant Armenian texts available in other languages. At this stage, we are happy to announce the list of books which will be translated from foreign languages into Armenian, and to call for potential translators to submit their interest to us. Through these translations, we are aiming to advance intellectual discourse in Armenian, and to contribute to the development of the Armenian language.
The following 12 texts will be translated in the first instance:
The above texts were selected by an international advisory committee comprised of Shushan Avagyan, Vardan Azatyan, Hagop Gulludjian, Smbat Hovhannisyan, Armine Ishkanian, Raymond Kevorkian, Ardashes Margosyan and Ara Sanjian. They worked closely with Razmik Panossian, the Director of the Armenian Communities Department, and Ani Garmiryan, the Department’s Senior Programme Officer.
Through this Call, we are seeking to select translators for this Series, and to augment our pool of qualified translators. We ask potential translators to contact us only if they wish to translate title(s) from the list above, from the original language into Armenian (Western or Eastern).
Responses should be sent to the Armenian Communities Department by 5 April 2016, to the following email address carmenias@gulbenkian.pt, and clearly indicate in the subject line “Translation Series, Call for Translators.” The application should be comprised of the following mandatory documents:
Mandatory Documents:
Selected translators will be notified by mid-May 2016. Those who are not notified will be put on a reserve list for future reference.
