On 24th of August, the second annual Mythopia Convention will take place in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
This convention is jointly organized by the Israeli HDM community, the Israeli Tolkien Society and the Harry Potter for grownups.
This year Convention will focuses on the ‘His Dark Materials’, ‘Harry Potter’, Tolkien, ‘Narnia’ and ‘A Song of Ice and Fire’ books as well.
We managed to get some various prominent Israeli lecturers such as Yeal Sela-Shapiro (the translator of the HDM books into Hebrew), Gili Bar-Hillel (the translator of the HP books into Hebrew) and More. Here are a few details about some of the HDM lectures this year:
’His Dark materials’ in Hebrew / Yael Sela- Shapiro – How do you transform the HDM world to Hebrew without changing Oxford to Tel-Aviv and Lyra to Liat? How can you tell apart between a scholar and a servant just by the way he speaks? How can you find a suitable alternative to technological terms and how to translate made-up Bible quotes? All that and more in a detailed lecture: translating ‘His Dark Materials’ to Hebrew.
The Lion, the witch and the Subtle Knife / Gili Bar-Hillel – The lecture deals with the use that Narnia and HDM do with the myth of Adam and Eve, in particularly in the way Pullman strictly supplies an anti-thesis to Lewis’s Narnia.
Universities and scientific research in ‘His dark Materials’ / Dr. Amnon Stupp - Discussion about the way scholars, scientists and the Universities environment described in ‘His Dark Materials’ in comparison to personal experience.
