W imieniu Zarządu Krakowskiego Towarzystwa Tertium, przypominam o naszym zaproszeniu do udziału w 13 edycji konferencji Język trzeciego tysiąclecia XIII tym razem pod hasłem "Język w obliczu technologii". Konferencja odbędzie się w Krakowie w dniach 13-15 marca 2024 r. Trzynasta edycja konferencji „Język trzeciego tysiąclecia” dąży do zgromadzenia szerokiego grona naukowców celem zgłębienia różnych aspektów języka w obliczu technologii. Różnorodne czynniki postrzegane jako decydujące w użyciu języka w epoce cyfrowej – od multimodalności, memetyki i asynchronii po sztuczną inteligencję, algorytmy i fake newsy – stały się ważnymi tematami w badaniach i mediach. Postęp technologiczny wywarł ogromny wpływ na sposoby i formy komunikowania się, prowadząc do kluczowych zmian zarówno na poziomie jednostki, jak i całej populacji.Wydarzenie ma na celu integrację międzynarodowej społeczności naukowej i jest skierowane przede wszystkim do językoznawców, tłumaczy, neofilologów oraz innych badaczy dziedzin pokrewnych, w tym doktorantów. Konferencja jest również otwarta dla praktyków, którzy pragną włączyć się w badania nad językiem, tłumaczeniem, komunikacją międzykulturową czy też nauczaniem języków obcych w erze cyfrowej.Gośćmi konferencji będą:prof.

TREXTUALITY: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Translated and Multilingual Texts University of Turku, Finland, 7–9 September, 2023 Keynote speakers Guyda Armstrong, University of Manchester: Title tba Esa Christine Hartmann, University of Strasbourg: Title tba Outi Paloposki, University of Turku: "Drafts, letters, letter drafts – adventures in translation archives" Call for papers Deadline for proposals: 27 February 2023 Schematically, translation studies acknowledges that a text can be translated from one language into another but tends to see source and target texts as stable entities, while in textual scholarship, texts are understood to take many forms, but the different textual manifestations are usually studied only within one language. In recent years, however, we have seen interdisciplinary approaches that go beyond the source text–target text pair in the case of translation studies and cross linguistic borders when it comes to textual scholarship. For example, thematic journal issues have explored multilingualism and translation from the point of view of textual scholarship (Dillen, Macé, and van Hulle eds. 2012), combined genetic criticism with translation (Durand-Bogaert ed. 2014), and laid out the foundations for genetic translation studies (Cordingley and Montini eds. 2015). Translation can also be seen as a means for bringing out different interpretations of a text and as an intertwined part of writing (Reynolds ed. 2019). Similarly, studies on closely related themes, such as multilingual writing, self-translation, collaborative translation, retranslation, indirect translation, pseudotranslation, backtranslation, and adaptation, may equally provide insights into the complex geneses and networks of dependence that lie behind texts that have manifestations in several languages (Gambier 1994; Bistué 2013). Studies on these kinds of themes often draw on archival resources, as archival material can provide information on translating, translations, and translators (Kujamäki 2018; Cordingley and Hersant eds. 2021). Interdisciplinary studies that put translation studies and textual scholarship (as well as neighboring fields such as literary studies and book history) into dialogue bring to the fore questions of text, transmission and translation – that is, they address trextuality by discussing how texts take different forms through transmission and by highlighting the role of translation in it. To foster such interdisciplinary dialogue, this conference invites proposals on topics that engage with the concepts of text, transmission, and/or translation, as well as proposals that address the potential of archival resources in the study of these and related themes. Potential topics for proposals include but are not limited to: - textual scholarship and scholarly editing of translated and multilingual texts, translations of critical editions; - textual critics as translators, translators as textual critics; - genetic translation studies; - multilingual writing, self-translation, collaborative translation, editorial processes of translation; - retranslation, indirect translation, pseudotranslation, backtranslation, adaptation; - diachronic and synchronic perspectives on text, transmission, and/or translation; - translator and author archives, manuscript studies; - textual theory, questions of multimodality, materiality, digital texts; - theoretical and methodological reflections on interdisciplinary studies relating to trextuality. Submitting a proposal Please submit your proposal for 1) an individual presentation (20 min), or 2) a panel of three presentations (20 min each) by email to trextuality2023@utu.fi by 27 February, 2023. Proposals should include: 1) title of presentation, 2) abstract (max. 500 words plus references) 3) presenter's name, institutional affiliation, and contact email, and 4) presenter's concise biography (max. 200 words).

{imageshow sl=2 sc=2 /} Within translation studies, minority has been the concern of scholars and translators whose interest has focused on language varieties (dialects, registers, styles, and discourses) linked to cultures that occupy subordinate positions in social formations, or what J.C. Catford defines as "states of language, ethnicity or sex with their own ghetto territorialities" (1987: 106). Minority languages and cultures challenge dominant, homogenising systems by posing resistance in the form of innovation, particularly when considered within the framework of our globalised world. This two-day conference aims to explore the unpredictable linguistic and cultural variations that minority might introduce in the study of audiovisual translation. We want to consider not only the uses of nonstandard linguistic items, multilingualism, and minor languages in audiovisual media, but also the range of cultural, social, and political issues raised by such uses, especially when affiliated with minor cultures. If we side with Abé Mark Nornes's view that "to the extent that skilled translators disregard conventional practices and creatively work through translation problems - both typical ones and those arising from the specificities of dubbing and subtitling - the outlook and possibilities for moving image translation are both hopeful and intriguing" (Nornes 2007: 16), how might the study and practice of audiovisual translation be reformulated in relation to minorities in the 21st century? We particularly invite contributions that encourage interdisciplinary discussions between scholars and translators about how audiovisual media can give voice to voiceless cultures and how such media might redefine the identity and role of the translator in the 21st century. Suggested topics may include, but are not limited to: Standard vs. nonstandard language varieties, multilingualism, and minor languages in audiovisual translation Audiovisual translation and the formation of identity Translation activism in today's global media landscape The social and political implications of translating humour in audiovisual material Dubbing and subtitling in world cinema understood as relations between film cultures positioned in global hierarchies, major and minor, central and peripheral The Cinema of Minorities: Film adaptation and minority cultures PROPOSALS - SUBMISSION GUIDELINES INDIVIDUAL PAPERS (20 mins) Please attach a single document including: Title and abstract of your proposal (300 words max.) 5 keywords Author's name, affiliation, email address and biography (100 words max.) avt-minoritycultures@unich.it Deadline for submissions: 7th May 2022 Conference fee: 150 EUR (standard) / 80 EUR (student) by 19th May 2022 CONTACT QUERIES All questions and submissions should be emailed to Eleonora Sasso ("G. d'Annunzio" University of Chieti-Pescara) to the following address: avt-minoritycultures@unich.it
