Adapting Alterity in Anglophone Scenarios

CALL FOR PAPERS

TrAdE III: Adapting Alterity in Anglophone Scenarios

                                   Tor Vergata University of Rome, 25-26 November 2022

Diversity and inclusion have not only gained key importance in our times, but they have also been at the core of a wide variety of academic subjects and heterogeneous research methodologies, with particular reference to linguistics, literature, and culture. The third edition of the annual conference organized by the Research Group TrAdE (Translation and Adaptation from/into English) seeks to explore how translation and adaptation deal with diversity and inclusion.

The very first conference organized by TrAdE was focused on words, following along their journey from one linguo-cultural system to another, words as channels connecting different languages and cultures; words as bridges, means for connection and contact. Which inevitably produces contamination and contagion, as TrAdE’s second conference attempted to analyze, hosting contributions by scholars from every corner of the globe. For its third conference, the Research Group is going to delve into translation and adaptation of alterity/otherness in Anglophone texts and contexts.

Alterity, Otherness, Diversity: words implying distinction, separation, distance, borders, frontiers designed to separate.

The transdisciplinary Conference shall be focused on (but not limited to) the following topics:

• Discrimination based on Religious Prejudice and Gender, Civil Rights in Synchronic and Diachronic Perspectives and Different Geo-Political Contexts;
• Diversity/Inclusion in Education and (Social) Media;
• Diversity/Inclusion in Art(s), Music, Movies and TV Series;
• Diversity/Inclusion in Language, Literature, Linguistics and Translation;
• Diversity/Inclusion of Style(s) and Genre(s);
• Identity and Alterity; Hegemonic vs Lesser Spoken Languages; Hate speech.
• Memories and Trauma.
