The conference will mark the launch of the International Association for Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS), a global 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 and setting up programmes to investigate them. 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, however, 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 worldwide, broadly based association encompassing both translation and intercultural studies.
To mark the launch of the International Association for Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS), Sookmyung Women’s University in Seoul, Korea, is hosting an international conference with an appropriately international and pressing theme: Translation and the Construction of Identity. ‘Translation’ is used here generically to cover written translation, oral interpreting, audiovisual translation and translation in ethnography, among other forms of crosscultural mediation. Contributions covering forms of intercultural communication other than translation are invited.

Featured Links
The Translation Studies Portal provides a forum for translation scholars and students in the Arabic-speaking world, Iran and Turkey. Its mission is to contribute to capacity building in the region in the area of translation and interpreting studies. Towards this end, it provides a range of resources and links which are updated regularly.
This initiative is made possible thanks to a grant from the British Academy. Although the portal has a particular focus on the Arab World, Iran and Turkey, many of the resources available on the site will be of interest to scholars of translation and interpreting worldwide.
The Routledge Translation Studies Portal offers a wide range of resources to support scholarly and pedagogical work in the field, including video and audio interviews and lectures, sample chapters from key publications, exercises, glossaries, links, and a variety of other material.
The Nida Institute for Biblical Scholarship is part of a global Bible Society fellowship in service to the American Bible Society and its constituents in the areas of academic research, educational programs and resources, and Bible translation. Serving as a repository for Bible and Bible-related resources, and promoting and supporting engagement with Scripture, the Nida Institute partners with the Church, the Academy, and the Bible Society fellowship.
The Nida Institute works in Bible translation through training, education, assessment, grants, and research. It provides content standards and review processes for ABS products and services; develops Scripture-based educational programs and content for home, school, church, and community; and carries responsibility for managing ABS's historic Library and Archives.
The International Association of Professional Translators and Interpreters (IAPTI) has been created by a group of professional language mediators as a vehicle for promoting ethical practices in their profession, as a venue in which to establish a dialog, without censorship and without conflicts of interest, with the aim of promoting effective professional ethics.
The House of Translation is a joint collaborative initiative between the National Center for Translation of the Ministry of Culture in Egypt and the Center for Translation Studies at the American University in Cairo. It was launched in October 2011 and is anchored in the history of a region that has been and continues to be a crossroads for different cultures and civilizations and a hub for translation and the transfer of knowledge. It is from this historically privileged position that The House of Translation can and must aspire to a global role in the future of translation studies.
The Interpreter Trainers' Network is a professional association for sign language interpreter trainers. The Network provides interpreter trainers with formal and informal opportunities for collegial support. ITN membership is open to Deaf and hearing educators, trainers and mentors. Prospective ITN members must be members of the Australian Sign Language Interpreters’ Association in order to be eligible for full ITN membership.

Event theme(s): Exploring new avenues and new contexts: live subtitling and other respeaking applications for (media) accessibility
Final call for papers for the Third international symposium on live subtitling with speech recognition.
Description: In the footsteps of the symposia held at Forli on 17 November 2006 and Barcelona on 19 June 2009, the Department of Translators and Interpreters of Artesis University is organising the third international symposium on the use of speech technology software for live subtitling and (media) accessibility.
Whereas the first two symposia focused on respeaking for live or real-time intralingual subtitling only, the present one is broadening its scope to the use of speech technology and respeaking in other contexts, such as cultural events, courtrooms, classrooms, distance learning and audiodescription, in addition to live-subtitling for television, the core focus of the symposium series.
The purpose of this expanded scope is to introduce new, related, state-of-the-art initiatives in research and practice to each other with a view to investigating interdisciplinary overlaps and joint research interests.
We therefore invite contributions dealing with speech-to-text and text-to-speech software development, respeaking techniques in different contexts, the analysis and improvement of the respeaking process and its different stages, the analysis and improvement of the respeaking product, the exploration of new applications, the management of delay in broadcasting, the management of the cognitive respeaking/interpreting load, ... in the context of:
• (applied) research into live subtitling with respeaking technology for broadcasting,
• (applied) research into the use of respeaking technology for media accessibility and translation in different live contexts,
• (applied) research into the interdisciplinary features of respeaking (e.g. its relation to simultaneous interpreting) in all such contexts.
A selection of the papers presented at the symposium will be published.
