<ABOUT
IATIS
The
International Association for
Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS) is a world-wide forum
designed to enable scholars from different regional and disciplinary
backgrounds to debate issues relating to translation and other forms
of intercultural communication.
Ongoing internationalization and networking, increasing population
mobility, mass migration and rapidly developing communication
technologies all involve crosscultural representation of one kind or
another. Mediation is provided by translators and interpreters in
some cases. In others, it takes a variety of less explicit forms and
hence remains largely untheorized and under-researched.
Institutions and individual researchers across the world have been
making questions of globalization and multiculturalism part of their
scholarly agenda. Others continue to investigate more traditional
issues of translation and cultural transmission. Translation studies
is now an established discipline in many parts of the world.
Intercultural studies is emerging as an area of study in its own
right.
To date, no single scholarly association represents the interests of
academics and researchers in these rapidly growing fields across the
world. Existing organizations tend to be restricted in their aims
and scope, whether to the professional development of translators
and interpreters, to certain geographical areas, or to the narrower
field of translation. At the same time, issues of translation and
intercultural communication feature only occasionally in the
conferences and publications of scholarly associations in such
fields as anthropology, comparative literature, or pragmatics. Hence
the need for a world-wide, broadly based association encompassing
both translation and intercultural studies.
IATIS is delighted to announce the
publication of the first volume of the
IATIS-Continuum Translation
Studies Series. This new collection edited by Jeremy Munday,
includes contributions by Carol Maier, Brian Mossop, Rita Kothari, Liu
Yameng, Jef Verschueren, Basil Hatim, Rosemary Moeketsi, Joana
Drugan and Francesca Billiani.
In his message to the delegates at the
Seoul
Conference marking the launch of IATIS, Director-General
Koïchiro MATSUURA wished us a long and fruitful existence working in
collaboration with UNESCO and said that UNESCO looks to our association "for active
support and cooperation in terms of thought, the exchange of ideas and
research".
