Translating a picture book requires a dive into the context of the imaginary. If this immersive journey is undertaken with fellow travelers, we may at times alight upon amazing solutions.

Per tradurre un libro illustrato, dobbiamo fare un tuffo dentro il contesto immaginario. L’immersione, se fatta insieme ai compagni di viaggio, spesso aiuta ad arrivare a soluzioni sorprendenti. In questo laboratorio, lavoreremo in gruppo per tradurre (analizzare, interpretare le immagini, adattare ecc.) 1 o 2 libri per gruppo,tra un totale di 5 titoli presenti allo stand della Japan Foundation e della JBBY al H29 C16.
