The ZHAW session of the Duo Colloquium 2020/2021 has a more industry-oriented focus on
the theme Contextuality in Translation and Interpreting. Contextuality can be understood
at any level, from the geopolitical to the textual, and embraces both academic and
professional considerations of translational and interpreting phenomena. The sub-themes of
the Duo Colloquium 2020/2021 concern the context(s) and/or decontextualisation in
translation and interpreting theory and practice, embracing both academic and professional
considerations of meaning in translation and interpreting from a variety of disciplinary,
interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives.
The sub-themes of the ZHAW session include the interface of translation and/or interpreting
with:
• agency and empowerment
• corpus and/or text linguistics
• domain specificity (e.g. economics, law, science, medicine, religion)
• education or training
• lexicography or terminology
• metaphor and/or phraseology
• modality and/or media
• (new) professional roles
• quality assessment
• situated practice(s)
• sociotechnical systems
• technology
