Genealogies of Knowledge II: Evolving Transnational, Transdisciplinary and Translational Epistemologies will be the concluding event of the AHRC-funded Genealogies of Knowledge Project. The event, to be held in April 2020, will be hosted by the Centre for Translation at Hong Kong Baptist University in collaboration with the Genealogies of Knowledge Project at Manchester’s Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies.
The Second Call for Papers for the Genealogies of Knowledge II Conference, which features an exciting line-up of plenary speakers, is available below. Please note the extended deadlines for the submission of individual presentation and panel proposals.
Conference Theme
This conference builds on and extends the theme of Genealogies of Knowledge I, which was held in Manchester in December 2017 and focused on the role of translation in the production and circulation of political, scientific and other key concepts in social life across time and space. Hosted by the Centre for Translation, Hong Kong Baptist University, Genealogies of Knowledge II will continue to explore how (re)translation, rewriting and other forms of mediation participate in the production and contestation of knowledge and how they renegotiate and/or transform the meaning of key concepts and values at specific historical junctures. This concluding event of the Genealogies of Knowledge project will further seek to widen the platform for enquiry into processes of knowledge construction and circulation by examining how criteria for the recognition and validation of ideas, sources of knowledge, theories and research methods have shifted across cultural spaces, within and across disciplines, and the contribution of translation to effecting such shifts. This event will provide a forum for engaging with questions that address relevant aspects of the emergence of translational, transnational and transdisciplinary epistemologies in various temporal and spatial locations.
