For the first time ever, there is a comprehensive study and a full bibliography of translations of works originally written in the Armenian language and published
in a book format in translation, both in Armenia or abroad during the period 1991-2012. The summary of the studies that will be presented at the debate analyzes tendencies in the flow of
translations from Armenian into eleven other languages and offers some concrete suggestions for instruments that will help Armenian literature be better presented in translation. The results of the
studies and the public debate is of interest to anyone concerned with translations, publishing and cultural communication, both in Armenia and abroad: book professionals, cultural organizations and
public policy makers. The public debate offers a chance to discuss questions such as: What are the channels by which Armenian authors are presented to foreign readers? How
do international publishers choose what to translate from Armenian? Which are the successful authors translated after 1991? What needs to be done for Armenian literature to become more visible to
readers of other languages?
The texts of the studies are available here: in English and in Armenian.
