DESCRIPTION:\n\nLanguage and words matter! This proposition lies at the cor
 e of a fundamental question facing societies: “How do political notions th
 at emerge from the debate on rights and responsibilities really matter in 
 society when they are turned into legal concepts and encoded in formal doc
 uments and legal communication?” This question was and remains important f
 or Montreal\, a city which has led the way for many other global municipal
 ities in codifying its own values and commitments in the Montreal Charter 
 of Rights and Responsibilities (MCRR)\, enacted in 2006.\n\nAn important m
 anifestation of UNESCO’S policy on linguistic and cultural diversity\, the
  Charter -initially issued in Canada’s two official languages- has since b
 een translated into numerous other languages. The Charter’s Italian transl
 ation produced by Professor Giuliana Garzone in collaboration with P. Cate
 naccio and D. Mazzi\, under the coordination of ���ϲ����� University’s Profes
 sor James Archibald\, plays a particularly important role in Montreal give
 n the City’s substantial population of Italian descent.\n\nProf. Giuliana 
 Garzone will discuss the crucial role played by language professionals in 
 the translation and of codification of rights\, with special reference to 
 the Montreal Charter of Rights and Responsibilities. She will argue that i
 n multilingual contexts\, such as in Montreal\, the act of translating in 
 itself has political significance. The very decision to translate the Char
 ter into several languages speaks to the spirit of inclusion and openness\
 , and to the values of cultural diversity inherent in the Charter and its 
 translation.\n\nSnacks an refreshments will be served.\n\n \n\nAbout Prof.
