Wine translation workshop

by CIAM (CENTRO INTERNATCIONAL ANTONIO MACHADO)

I am delighted to have completed an online workshop that focused on ES-EN-ES translation in the field of winemaking.

I can say with great satisfaction that the workshop exceeded my expectations from a pedagogical and linguistic point of view.
The content of the workshop on “the language of the vine” has introduced me to semantic notions that enable me to understand and conceptualize very subtle but at the same time crucial biological and cultural processes in the world of wine. Some of them, I believe, will be useful to understand other traditional crafts and practices, by way of an ethnographic approach. In the “wine translation” workshop I learnt how to systematically analyze different types of texts about wine, and I also enjoyed a hermeneutic journey through great literary writings in which wine plays a crucial role.

IL MULÍN By Alex Galán

“Not so long ago we owned our land, but when they built the road, the last mill in the valley stopped working. We lost ownership of our land. Today we are going to cut the road and get our grain back. Do we have to ask permission for that? For being masters of our land?”

Nunatak carries me away from the screen to the most incredible places on earth.
