Our venue, the Colony Hotel, resides in a building dating back to 1905.

The lectures will be delivered in Hebrew.
Prof. Gabriel Zoran:
Professor Emeritus of Hebrew and comparative literature in Haifa University. Dealt with the underlying theory of literature, and Greek, German, and Hebrew literature. See further details of publications in the Hebrew announcement.
The subject is: translation, interpretation, and what is in between.
The lecture will mainly address the difference between meaning and interpretation, and will claim that while a meaning of word or expression is an integral part of translation, interpretation is outside the translator's expertise, and can only detract from the translation if it is included in it.

Lecturer of Arabic language and literature at Beit Berl. Expertise in digital literature.
The topic is introduction to digital literature.
