Beyond the Books is a podcast from the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (LLC) that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at research and the people who make it happen. In this episode, host Emma Aviet speaks with Peter Davies, Professor of Modern German Studies in the Department of European Languages and Cultures at the University of Edinburgh.
The episode was recorded at the start of Peter's Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship, How are Victims' Voices Heard?: Interpreting and Translation at a Holocaust Trial. In their conversation, Peter and Emma talk about how the Fellowship explores the work of translators and interpreters in the trial of 22 former SS Auschwitz personnel in Frankfurt in the mid-1960s, and discuss Peter's past articles on one of the most prominent interpreters from that trial, Wera Kapkajew. This leads to a discussion about the many concerns and roles of an interpreter in institutionalised settings and the crucial role of translation in defining public perceptions of the survivor experience, both in the past and potentially in the future.

Beyond the Books is a podcast from the School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures (LLC) that gives you a behind-the-scenes look at research and the people who make it happen. In our sixth episode of this series, host Emma Aviet talks to Dr Charlotte Bosseaux, Senior Lecturer in Translation Studies.
In the episode, Charlotte talks about her journey to Edinburgh, as well as her current research on the ethical demands of translating accounts of trauma, such as gender-based violence. This project, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), focuses on the testimonies of non-English speaking women and explores the ethical role translation plays in transmitting their experiences of trauma.
We get to hear about the dynamic and collaborative demands of Charlotte's project, which will result in the creation of a multilingual documentary and provide good practice guidelines for translators, translation companies, filmmakers and charities. We also learn about Charlotte’s past research on the uncanny nature of dubbing, and the many actors who have lent their voices to stars like Julianne Moore and Sean Connery.
