CALL FOR PAPERS

Translation, both in the restricted sense of interlinguistic rewriting and the broader sense of a set of cultural and political activities, has increasingly featured in studies promoting a critical understanding of the development of political ideas and of global history. The humanities and the social sciences have experienced a translational turn, and are increasingly using translation as an analytical concept rather than merely a metaphor designating shifting disciplinary boundaries and cultural encounters in contemporary societies.

Translation practices have played and continue to play a key role in a number of social and political fields. It is through translation that political concepts emerging in one cultural environment travel to other spaces and impact intellectual and social debates in new contexts. Intergovernmental diplomacy has often been conducted through translation, and social and international conflicts are often mediated, assuaged, or exacerbated through translation. Translation remains one of the main vehicles through which globalization processes are enabled; it operates at the interstices of military, economic and cultural power. Both governmental and non-governmental agencies, as well as international entities such as the UN and the EU, rely on translation for the dissemination of information as well as for purposes of intelligence and propaganda. Translation also plays an instrumental role in new(s) media, and hence in circulating or resisting alternative narratives and ideologies.

The conference seeks to address four areas of particular interest. The first area concerns the role of translation in the development and dissemination of political ideas; the second area considers how translation operates in the context of institutional politics; the third looks at how social movements and interest groups use translation to advance their agendas or political demands; finally, the fourth area concerns translation practices in the media, focusing on international politics.

We welcome proposals at the interface of translation and politics from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives. Topics to be addressed include, but are not restricted to, the following:

Translation and political communication Translation policies in multilingual institutions and states Political terminology and translation Corpus-based studies of translated political discourse Translation and the circulation of information in social networks Transnational media and translation News translation and international relations Translation and democracy Translation and the reception of political concepts Translation and censorship Translation and activism Translation and cultural diplomacy The role of translators in international cooperation Translation, interpreting and human rights Translation and Internet politics Translation and ideology Translation and identity politics Translation and migration policies Translation and globalization

SUBMITTING A PROPOSAL

The official languages of the conference will be English, Italian and French. Oral presentations of 20 minutes will be followed by 10 minute discussions. Abstracts of 300 words, accompanied by 3 keywords, should be submitted in any of these languages by November 15th, 2018 via the conference website http://home.translationaspoliticalact.net.

APPEL À COMMUNICATIONS

La traduction, dans son sens restreint de réécriture interlinguistique et dans son sens plus large d’ensemble de pratiques culturelles et politiques, a pris une importance croissante dans les études privilégiant une compréhension critique du développement des idées politiques et de l’histoire globale. Les sciences humaines et sociales ont récemment connu un véritable ‘tournant traductionnel’ (translational turn) et elles envisagent de plus en plus la traduction comme concept analytique plutôt que comme simple métaphore désignant les frontières mouvantes des disciplines et les rencontres culturelles dans les sociétés contemporaines.

Les pratiques traductives ont joué et continuent à jouer un rôle majeur dans les domaines social et politique. C’est par le biais de la traduction que les idées politiques circulent d’un milieu à l’autre, favorisant les échanges et suscitant des débats intellectuels et sociaux. De plus, les négociations diplomatiques ont souvent été menées ayant recours à la traduction et les conflits internationaux ou sociaux sont fréquemment arbitrés, résolus, ou attisés par la traduction. La traduction est également l’un des principaux moyens qui favorise le processus de mondialisation ; elle œuvre au point de jonction du pouvoir économique, culturel et militaire. Les agences gouvernementales et non gouvernementales, les organisations internationales, telles l’ONU et l’UE, font appel à la traduction pour la diffusion des informations, ainsi que pour leurs activités de propagande et de renseignement. La traduction joue également un rôle déterminant dans les médias et par conséquent dans la circulation ou dans le refus de narrations et d’idéologies alternatives.

Ce colloque entend explorer des problématiques associées à quatre axes de recherche principaux. Le premier concerne le rôle de la traduction dans le développement et la diffusion des idées politiques ; le deuxième prend en considération les pratiques traductives au sein des institutions politiques ; le troisième envisage les pratiques collectives de la traduction politique au sein des mouvements sociaux et des groupes d’intérêt ; le quatrième porte sur les pratiques de la traduction journalistique, notamment dans le domaine de la politique internationale.

Les propositions traitant de l’interface entre traduction et politique vue sous divers angles théoriques et méthodologiques seront les bienvenues. Sans s’y limiter, les contributions pourront aborder les thèmes suivants :

Traduction et communication politique Politiques de la traduction dans les institutions et les pays multilinguesTerminologie politique et traductionÉtudes de corpus et traduction du discours politiqueTraduction et circulation de l’information dans les réseaux sociauxTraduction et médias transnationauxTraduction journalistique et relations internationalesTraduction et démocratieTraduction et réception des idées politiquesTraduction et censureTraduction et activismeTraduction et diplomatie culturelleLe rôle des traducteurs dans la coopération internationaleTraduction, interprétation et droits humainsTraduction et politique sur InternetTraduction et idéologieTraduction et identité politiqueTraduction et politiques de migrationTraduction et globalisation

SOUMETTRE UNE PROPOSITION

Les langues du colloque sont l’anglais, le français et l’italien. Les communications auront une durée de 20 minutes et seront suivies de 10 minutes de discussion. Les propositions de communication, sous forme de résumé (environ 300 mots), sont à envoyer avant le 15 novembre 2018 via le site du colloque (http://home.translationaspoliticalact.net).

PROPOSTE DI CONTRIBUTI

La traduzione, sia nel senso più ristretto di riscrittura interlinguistica, sia intesa come insieme di attività culturali e politiche, ha assunto un rilievo sempre maggiore nell’ambito degli studi che promuovono la comprensione critica dello sviluppo delle idee politiche e della storia globale. Nelle scienze umane e sociali si è verificata una ‘svolta traduttiva’ (translational turn), per cui la traduzione si presenta non solo come metafora che rimanda alla mutabilità dei confini disciplinari e agli scambi culturali che hanno luogo nel mondo contemporaneo, ma anche come strumento analitico.
La traduzione ha svolto e svolge tuttora un ruolo chiave in diverse aree sociali e politiche, ed è attraverso la traduzione che i concetti politici emersi in un particolare contesto culturale si diffondono in altri ambiti, favorendo così lo scambio delle idee e stimolando il dibattito intellettuale e sociale. Inoltre, le relazioni diplomatiche tra gli stati sono spesso condotte attraverso la traduzione, mentre i conflitti sociali e internazionali sono frequentemente mediati, sopiti o esacerbati proprio attraverso quest’ultima.

La traduzione continua ad essere uno dei mezzi principali che rende possibili i processi di globalizzazione, operando nei punti di intersezione tra i poteri militare, economico e culturale. Le agenzie governative e non-governative, nonché organizzazioni internazionali quali le Nazioni Unite e l’Unione Europea, dipendono dalla traduzione sia per la diffusione delle informazioni, sia per scopi propagandistici e di intelligence. Infine, le pratiche di traduzione sono parte integrante del ruolo giocato dai media nel diffondere o contrastare discorsi e ideologie discordanti.
Il convegno si articola attorno a quattro aree tematiche: la prima riguarda il ruolo della traduzione nello sviluppo e nella diffusione delle idee politiche; la seconda prende in considerazione le pratiche traduttive nel contesto della politica istituzionale; la terza esamina le pratiche collettive della traduzione politica nell’ambito dei movimenti sociali e dei gruppi di interesse; la quarta area, infine, riguarda le pratiche traduttive all’interno dei media, con particolare riguardo alla politica internazionale.
Le proposte possono affrontare i molteplici rapporti fra traduzione e politica secondo diverse ottiche (inter)disciplinari e prospettive metodologiche. A titolo indicativo, si propongono i seguenti nuclei tematici:

Traduzione e comunicazione politica Politiche e pratiche traduttive nelle istituzioni e nei paesi multilingui Terminologia politica e traduzione Corpora e analisi del discorso politico in traduzione Traduzione e circolazione delle informazioni nei social network Traduzione e media transnazionali Traduzione giornalistica e relazioni internazionali Traduzione e democrazia Traduzione e ricezione delle idee politiche Traduzione e censura Traduzione e attivismo Traduzione e diplomazia culturale Il ruolo dei traduttori nella cooperazione internazionale Traduzione, interpretazione e diritti umani Traduzione e politica in Internet Traduzione e ideologia Traduzione e identità politica Traduzione e politiche migratorie Traduzione e globalizzazione

Le lingue ufficiali del convegno sono: inglese, italiano e francese. Le comunicazioni avranno la durata di 20 minuti, a cui seguiranno 10 minuti di discussione. Gli abstract delle proposte (circa 300 parole) devono essere inviati entro il 15 novembre.

CfP: Interculturality and Hospitality in Times of Crisis

International Association for Translation and Intercultural Studies9th International ConferenceUniversity of Canterbury | Te Whare Wānanga o WaitahaChristchurch, New Zealand7-10 December Interculturality and Hospitality in Times of Crisis Conference Theme Language, hospitality, and crisis are, and always have been, historically and globally intertwined concepts. The notion of hospitality is deeply rooted in complex and long-standing histories of encounters; of conflict and persecution; but also of travel and adventure. The specular relationship between alterity and subjectivity is at its core, and so too is the very fabric of sociability. The closest Te Reo Māori equivalent to hospitality, manaakitanga, echoes this dynamic, as it implies the collective nurturing of relationships in which the mana (dignity, prestige, and spiritual power) of all those involved is upheld and elevated. From these histories and terms, we are confronted with the (unwritten) rules, obligations, and laws related to hospitality which encapsulate examples on a micro- and macrostructural level: from welcoming guests into a nation—as immigrants or refugees—to providing shelter and support in the community in times of crisis, right down to individual acts of kindness and aid, such as welcoming a friend, family-member or stranger into one’s home. However, not all guests and hosts are created equal, and hospitality is not always synonymous with kindness and welcoming. The (de)colonial perspectives evident from Latin America to Oceania and beyond, where indigenous peoples were constructed as ‘unwelcome guests’ in their own land, offer fruitful examples of how historically, as well as in contemporary contexts, hospitality has often functioned as a lens through which asymmetrical power relations can be understood. Several linguists and philosophers have scrutinized the ambivalence inherent to hospitality, elucidating its semantic and pragmatic conceptions, as well as its etymological misunderstandings and polysemy. Paola Zaccaria summarizes this dynamic as follows: “In Latin, the guest, being a stranger, was called both hospes (whence the etymological root of hospitality) and hostis, which means “enemy.” [Émile] Benveniste argued that the notion of favorable stranger evolved into guest, while a hostile stranger was considered an enemy" (Zaccaria, 2022, p. 182). Such etymological linkage led Jacques Derrida to coin the neologism “hostipitality” (Derrida & Dufourmantelle, 2000), suggesting that welcoming the Other can lead to a host’s vulnerability, and that embedded within hospitality are the very seeds of its own potential destruction. Welcoming the guest—the Other, a frenemy, AI—can lead to the host’s sovereignty unravelling, where sovereignty can be understood in its broadest conceptual sense possible: one’s space (or home) as well as one’s identity and integrity. This intersubjective blending is even more apparent when we take into consideration that Derrida writes in French where the term hôte can denote, depending on the context, either guest or host. Interpretations and translations of hospitality continue today: whether it be as a pragmatic form or an abstract, philosophical construct, the concept will (and arguably should) never be laid to rest. While the very notion of hospitality, the givenness of its communal veracity is obviously enabling, we do not need to look too far in our current climate to witness how conceptually, at least, it has been called into crisis. ‘Crisis,’ at its very root, indicates a turning point and a decision. Not all crises are therefore inherently bad or negative, and yet the term is rarely shrouded in positivity. In a post-truth era; as we explore the use and limits of AI; as we further communicate through the semiotics of emojis; as teeter-tottering governments modify language policies, and as institutional settings regulate and enact the boundaries in which we work and live, we must ask: is language—and are languages—in crisis? And can the same be said of hospitality? Translation, Interpreting, and interculturality are at the very heart of both hospitality and crisis, as the latter inevitably creates contexts of language contact due to globalization, as well as chosen and forced migration. With this conference topic, there are two potential thematic avenues for presenters to explore in relation to Translation, Interpreting, as well as Intercultural Studies: one more aligned with the multifaceted notion and voices of ‘hospitality’ and the other with ‘crisis.’ This conference therefore calls on scholars, educators, and practitioners to reflect and present on these disciplines and their interaction with these themes as they play out in their professional, creative, and scholarly reflections and important work. Possible subthemes to explore include: ·           T&I and the guest-host dynamic·           Violence in/and T&I·           Language(s) in crisis·           Hospitality and crisis·           Regional and minority languages·           Data Sovereignty and indigenous languages·           AI and/in crisis – trust, machine translation, and language access in crisis situations·           T&I in hospitality & tourism·           T&I in regional conflicts·           T&I in natural disasters·           Hospitality and ethics in relation to volunteer translation, AI-assisted translation, and the sustainability of the profession·           The translation/non-translation of literature as examples of hostipitality·           Rethinking T&I and sovereignty through Indigenous Knowledges·           The ethics and politics of translation and intercultural studies research, education, and practice: a turning point?·           (Feminist) ethics of care·           Disability Studies and the Politics of language(s) in translation and interpretation – who gets to speak?·           Lost languages – linguistic preservation, hospitality, and ethics·           Resisting the status quo – rethinking dissemination of translations as a question of the commonsLanguage Policy·      All abstracts/proposals for individual papers (20 minutes each) and panels must be submitted in English or Te Reo Māori for peer-review by the Advisory Board, and all papers will be presented in English or Te Reo Māori. Interpreting will be provided contingent on available funds.·      Workshop proposals must be submitted in English or Te Reo Māori for peer-review by the Scientific Committee; however, presentations during workshops in languages other than English or Te Reo Māori are welcome.
