Call for papers for a conference in Paris, 24-25 May 2013, held as part of the ANR “Schusocru” research project: “The constitution of human and social sciences in Russia: networks and circulation of models of knowledge from the 18th century to the 1920s”
From the 18th century, the constitution of scientific fields in Russia, particularly in what are known as the human sciences, followed many paths but it was largely based on transfers, borrowings, and implantations from Western Europe in the creation of institutions, the education of specialists, and the circulation of books. Against that background, the invention of scientific language in the various disciplines is of particular interest and merits historical research. This topic immediately raises another question, namely which national language was used to transmit knowledge. Use of the languages in which the knowledge was originally written (Latin, French, German, etc.), known not only by practitioners from the scholarly centres of Europe, but also by the first Russian specialists, was soon paralleled by the end of the 18th century by translations into Russian of Western scholarly publications. These included those published in Russia in their original languages, as at the Academy of Sciences. Later, in some rare, but significant cases, Russian works were translated in Western languages. As a result, translation became a process of cultural exchange and of construction of science; it led to an intense labour of linguistic adaptation and invention, first of lexical terms and then of syntax, of a scope and scale that need to be measured: the language of science, an object of invention, immediately became an object for communication, education and public instruction.
Research Fellowships at the University of Birmingham
Written by Gabriela SaldanhaA new round of Birmingham Fellowships has just opened. Details can be found at http://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/excellence/fellows/index.aspx. These are exceptional opportunities for outstanding early-career researchers (for instance, they are permanent, and the terms of eligibility are quite widely drawn).
The sidebar on the main page offers sections ‘about’, ‘apply’ (including a very useful FAQ), and ‘priority areas’ (of which the one most likely to be of interest will probably be ‘Language, Text and Performance’).
Please do read the details, and, if you think this is an opportunity you’d like to look into, just click on the relevant contact email for your chosen priority area (or, if none of the areas seems to fit, use the email that’s given for people outside the priority areas).
We are pleased to announce the launch of the first issue of Sheikhbahaee EFL Journal.

Dictionaries –general and specialized, printed and online– are one of the most important tools for the translator. Language professionals need to know how to consult and use dictionaries in order to complete a translation task effectively, while students of translation need to learn skills to do so. The relationship between dictionaries and Translation Studies seems also worth investigating. Nevertheless, as some scholars have pointed out (Fenner, 1989; Roberts, 1997; Corpas Pastor, 2001) dictionaries—and lexicography more in general— have not be given the attention they deserve in Translation Studies.
Submissions are invited for a special issue of inTRAlinea online journal of translation studies on Translation and Lexicography, to be published in 2013.
4th Graduate Student Conference in Translation Studies
Written by Magdalena DombekBeyond Mediation? Exploring Translation and Interpretation
in the Current Globalized Landscape
The graduate students of the School of Translation at Glendon College, York University, are pleased to announce the fourth annual graduate student conference in Translation Studies, to be held at Glendon College, Toronto in March 2013.
The realities of the 21st century have brought into sharp focus the role of translation and interpretation in an increasingly globalized world; they are omnipresent, albeit often invisible, instruments in the construction of knowledge, and play an indispensable role in cultural, economic, geo-political, linguistic and technological exchanges.
Increased movement within and across cultural and linguistic boundaries, as well as new media of communication have brought about a greater awareness of cultural and linguistic diversity, an awareness that has not necessarily led to a significant difference in attitudes toward such diversity.
Language and Cultural Aspects of International Mediation
Written by Magdalena Dombek‘Language and Cultural Aspects of International Mediation’ is a two-day event which will be held on the 15th (afternoon), 16th and 17th (morning) August at the University of Nottingham (University Park Campus) in the UK.
This event witnesses the first collaborative efforts between professionals and academics under the innovative theme. The speakers include professional mediators from the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution (CEDR) and academics specialising in sociolinguistics, translation, intercultural communication and conflict management studies. They will present and debate how professional knowledge and academic research into those areas can contribute effectively to the understanding of language use and inter/cross-cultural differences in mediation and conflict management and their representation in translation/interpreting.
