“Only one thing remained reachable, close and secure amid all losses:
language. Yes, language. In spite of everything, it remained secure
against loss.” Paul Celan, Romanian poet and translator

A new call for applications is open for The Paul Celan Fellowships for
Translators, a programme of the Institute for Human Sciences (IWM)
supported by ERSTE Foundation.

The fellowship programme encourages the translations of canonical texts
and contemporary key works in the humanities, social sciences and cultural
studies from Eastern to Western, Western to Eastern, or between two
Eastern European languages. Special emphasis is put on translations of
relevant works written by East European authors and/or by female scholars.

Paul Celan Visiting Fellows are invited to spend three to six months
between July 2015 and June 2016 at the IWM to pursue their translation
projects. Fellows receive a monthly stipend in the amount of EUR 2,050 to
cover all expenses related to the stay in Vienna. In addition, the IWM
provides the fellows with a personal office, including access to internet,
in-house research and administrative facilities as well as other services
free of charge.

Applications have to be submitted until 28 February 2015 via the online
