Event theme(s): The theme of the Lima Conference, Translation, Identity and Heterogeneity, takes on a special urgency today because communication, language, and translation have found new frames of reference in a post-modern world characterized by globalization, immigration, and localization. The Lima Conference will explore many aspects of this theme, including translation and minority languages, translation and the emergence of new languages (creoles, pidgens, street-languages), translation and boundaries, translation and inner cultural space, translation and cultural mediation, translation and the politics of language, to mention just some of the more obvious topics.

Description: Culture, Ideology, and Bible Translation will explore the multiple intersections where Bible translation influences and is influenced by such critical issues as ideology and culture. For this consultation, Bible translation includes the entire history and processes of translating the Bible, both theoretical and practical, as well as specific instances of Bible translation, both ancient and modern. Ideology refers to any collection of doctrine, belief, or myth that guides individual and corporate actions and behaviors. Culture refers broadly to the sum total of learned, socially transmitted customs, knowledge, and behavior of a particular society. Ideology and culture affect both the process of Bible translation and its reception into a culture.
