Translated Literature Published in Ireland, 2016-2025

For International Translation Day, here's a dataset that me and Michaela Králová have put together on the publication of translated literature in Ireland over the past decade or so: zenodo.org/records/2304...

Also interesting to note newer publishers like @bullaunpress.bsky.social - along with the numbers (even in a small dataset & publishing industry), gives some hopeful indications that parallel Anglophone translation publishing developments more generally

We note a few provisional findings in the accompanying text (and we'll publish more about this soon). Overall, the number of translations per year has increased noticeably, with childrens books in Ireland a major category. Irish is comfortably the biggest target language...

As accompanying info says, there are likely to be gaps & human error here. Good data on translations is infuriatingly hard to come by, which is why we did this! But we've worked hard on it (& will gratefully accept & incorporate corrections), and it gives an interesting snapshot of Irish publishing

Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

The team getting our hopes up only to fully Sheeran the situation, leaving one principled player isolated in the process, is just about the worst way this could have gone

a lot of chat about a 'Kaepernick moment' in the lead up to this. Sadly we have our Kaepnernick moment: a player being absolutely hung out to dry by his association and teammates.

This is precisely why hundreds of experts demanded that during Ireland's presidency of the EU our country not be allowed to handle tech policy. Ireland is the trojan horse for US Big Tech lawlessness in the EU. It's really as simple as that.

Jonathan Swift DESTROYS the AI bros

The first Man I saw was of a meagre Aspect, with sooty Hands and Face, his Hair and Beard long, ragged and singed in several Places. His Clothes, Shirt, and Skin were all of the same Colour. He had been Eight Years upon a Project for extracting Sun-Beams out of Cucumbers,* which were to be put into Vials hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the Air in raw inclement Summers. He told me, he did not doubt in Eight Years more, he should be able to supply the Governors Gardens with Sun-shine at a reasonable Rate; but he complained that his stock

was low, and intreated me to give him something as an Encouragement to Ingenuity, especially since this had been a very dear Season for Cucumbers. I made him a small Present, for my Lord had furnished me with Money on purpose, because he knew their Practice of begging from all who go to see them.

This was fun. Temmuz reads from Joanna's book, Joanna reads from Temmuz's zine - we discuss critical theory and its audiences; academia and precarity; ideas and accessibility, and creative ways of navigating the restrictions of the publishing world

You're going to want to read this when it's published next month, particularly if you're in Ireland. Not only the most vivid account of direct provision yet, but a brutally smart, elegantly constructed and skilfully translated novel
