The AALITRA Review(ISSN 1838-1294) is a peer-reviewed academic journal that focuses on the theory and practice of literary translation. It was established in March 2010 by the Australian Association for Literary Translation (AALITRA), a non-for-profit Australian organization that promotes the visibility and importance of literary translation in Australia and beyond.

Published biannually, The AALITRA Review seeks to foster a community of literary translators and contribute to intellectual debates surrounding the complexities of translating literary texts. Embedded in Australia's multicultural ethos, it publishes articles, translations, interviews, book reviews and translators’ diaries written in English. Contributions explore the challenges, strategies, and cultural nuances involved in the art of literary translation.

History and Foundation

The AALITRA Review was founded in 2010 as a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal designed to advance the field of literary translation. Its creation was inspired by the need for a dedicated platform to engage with both the theoretical and practical dimensions of translation.

Its first editor was Lintao (Rick) Qi, an academic at Monash University, a translator of Chinese literature, and NAATI-certified professional translator. Current editors, Emerita Professor Hélène Jaccomard, University of Western Australia, and Eliza Nicoll, Monash University, are academics, literary critics and translators of French and Japanese respectively.

Scope and Content

The AALITRA Review serves as a platform for scholarly discourse on literary translation, encompassing a broad spectrum of content that addresses theoretical frameworks, practical challenges, and the cultural ramifications of translating literary texts. The journal is structured into several recurring sections, each contributing to its multidisciplinary approach:

  • Articles: This section includes peer-reviewed scholarly papers that investigate translation theory and practice, addressing topics such as foreignization and domestication, Berman’s theories, and Skopostheorie. Articles often examine translation dynamics between English and both major world languages and lesser-translated languages, thus broadening the scope of inquiry.
  • Translations with Commentary: Contributors to this section provide critically annotated translations, elucidating their methodologies and problem-solving strategies. These commentaries bridge theory and practice by engaging with academic scholarship and reflecting on the specific challenges inherent to the language pairs involved.
  • Interviews: These feature dialogues with eminent literary translators from Australia and beyond, offering insights into their work and the overarching issues within the field of literary translation. Such interviews serve to challenge the notion of translators’ invisibility (as articulated by Venuti), emphasizing their creative agency and authorship.

Of particular note is the interview with Douglas Robinson by J Qin, "Translation as Transfeeling: An Interview with Douglas Robinson", The AALITRA Review, 2013, cited in journal articles exploring professional practices [see As a model of translation.

  • Book Reviews: This section presents critical analyses of key publications in the field of literary translation, including works on translation theory, practice, and history. The reviews underscore the interdisciplinary nature of translation studies, connecting it to domains such as philosophy, linguistics, and sociology.
  • Translators’ Diaries: A unique feature of the journal, these diaries offer personal reflections on the translation process, chronicling the challenges and experiences encountered during specific projects. By providing a humanistic perspective, these accounts not only enrich the discourse but also serve as practical resources for other translators, as fostered by the work of Daniel Hahn .

The journal actively promotes the translation of texts between English and a diverse array of languages, ranging from widely spoken languages such as French, Italian, Spanish, German, Chinese, and Russian to lesser-translated languages like Hungarian, Czech, Arabic, and Greek. Additionally, it includes articles and translations involving non-English language pairs, such as German to Spanish, thereby appealing to a truly global readership.

Collaborations

The AALITRA Review occasionally collaborates with aligned organizations, exemplified by its partnership with PEN Melbourne in 2022 to establish a literary translation prize .
