معرفی
Jeroen Vandaele is a Professor at Ghent University's Department of Translation, Interpreting and Communication, where he teaches Literary Translation and Hispanic Literatures. Previously, he served as a professor of Spanish at the University of Oslo (2008-2017), and held visiting positions at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (2012) and the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (doctoral guest researcher). In 2023, he was a Mare Balticum Fellow at Rostock University.
His research spans ideology in translation under Francoism, comedy and humor studies, cognitive literary theory, and narratology (including film). He explores how textual details and cultural context intersect in translation, particularly in politically sensitive works.
Recent publications (2024) focus on transmedial humor, part-whole thinking in translation, and fascism's impact on film translation. His work bridges theoretical and practical translation studies, emphasizing human agency over mechanical approaches. Notable projects include DELIAH (Democratic literacy and humor, 2025-2029) and HACIDA (Humor in digital conflicts, 2022-2024).
Editorial roles include the Target International Journal of Translation Studies and advisory positions for journals like Actio Nova and Textus. He supervised Miguel Ángel Guerra Blázquez's PhD (2024) on literary translation reception in Francoist Spain.
