Healthcare interpreting is one of the most important areas of community interpreting, where issues of life and death may be at stake. Cases in the media frequently reveal the impact that interpreting can have on the plight of patients. Yet, despite the importance of healthcare interpreting, most countries still lack a formal system of training and accreditation for healthcare interpreters, and most of the demand is met by ad-hoc arrangements, often involving family members. This panel, which will be jointly organised by the IATIS Training Committee and Bogazici University in Istanbul, aims to focus on the main issues in developing and implementing proper healthcare interpreting systems and services. Panel leaders: Bernd Meyer from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz will join the panel online and set up the main framework for the discussion, giving examples from international practice. Jonathan Ross from Bogazici University will survey the situation in Turkey, focusing on the need for, and challenges in, creating formal systems for healthcare interpreting. The panel will also host a healthcare interpreter (name to be confirmed) who will talk about the day-to-day issues in interpreting in healthcare settings. The panel will take place at Bogazici University on 9 May 2104, 2 pm. It will be recorded and made available on the IATIS website. The event is free but you need to register.

In all languages, humans frequently use linguistic combinations called phraseological units (PUs) in communicative acts. These PUs are characterized by their institutionalized fixation and, in many cases, by their opacity. Phraseological Units —which often pose many equivalence problems to translators— are used with a very clear discursive objective, since they represent the speaker's wish to use a fixed expression in the communicative act known by most of the speech community, and adding to it a cultural, social, generational nuance, an expressive or stylistic function, etc.Badly treated over many centuries, phraseology is finally one of the great linguistic issues that is being systematically analysed since the last quarter of the 20th century.In this 5th Lucentino Conference, we would like to open further the range of phraseological studies and deal with the problems posed by phraseological variation from the areas of lexicography and translation.Traditionally, the work on phraseology has placed the emphasis on the total fixing of components and structures of verbal expressions. Variation in PUs is currently an uncontested fact and has been extensively studied and analysed. In addition, in the case of languages like Spanish, English, French, spoken in many countries, new creations or diatopic variants arise. While these diatopic expressions have been collected or analysed in their territory of influence, no comprehensive collection showing all the expressions and contrastive analysis to observe the similarities and differences between these diatopic creations with all their idiosyncratic and cultural references have been made so far.The interest of this subject lies in the ambiguity of the notion of variation under study; for example, from the following two definitions:- The first refers to any changes that fixed sequences can reflect as close paradigms, as well as all structures and transformation that they may undergo in discourse.- The second, which is not specific of fixation, has to do with the different variants that the same sequence may have according to geographical areas (diatopic variations), language registers (diaphasic variations), speakers (diastratic variations), etc.These two types of variations can be found both in the general language, and in specialized languages. While in the general language there are three focuses of interest —structuring; geographical, stylistic and individual differences; and collocation—, specialized languages are an ideal habitat to study terminology and specialized phraseology.Different lines of thought can be studied:-Theoretical dimension of the two kinds of variations concerning to the status of the units within the same variant and in its relations with the variants in the same variants and with different variants: defining elements, way of functioning, use, etc.- Building of corpus directly related to variants, and database management establishing relations between the types of variants.- Geographical variation in the major linguistic areas (French, Spanish, English, Arabic, etc..).- Social variants: differences in registers, social dialects (professional corpus, generations, etc.), and euphemistic expressions.- The individual variants as in idiolects defining, for example, the author style in literary texts or the way of talking about specific individuals.- The variants specific to jargon and specialized languages.- Pragmatic variants, such the pragmathemes, etc.Phrasal variation may also have applied dimensions: language teaching, translation and automatic processing of language. In this sense, the conference invites also proposals on the translation of phraseological units and their teaching.

WLB105, Shaw Campus, HKBUAs Cristina Marinetti argues, "The concept of performativity itself has tobe fully articulated in relation to translation" yet performativity has onlyrecently begun to cross paths with Translation Studies, particularly with afocus on the translator's agency or identity and on translation as embodiedepistemologies and aesthetics. A special issue on the subject is forthcomingin the journal Target 25:3, dedicated to the role of translation andperformativity in the theatre. Performativity intersects with Translation in a number of ways: Sherry Simon(1998) and Edwin Gentzler (2008) discuss the adoption of a performativeperspective "especially in relation to unpacking notions of identity" (Simon1998; Gentzler 2008). Douglas Robinson discusses the "performativelinguistics of translation" that is, "translating as doing","doingsomething to the target reader". He also mentions "Translating ascolonizing, or as fighting the lingering effects of colonialism; translatingas resisting global capitalism, translating as fighting patriarchy, asliberating women (and men) from patriarchal gender roles the translatoras a doer, an actor on variously conceived cultural, professional, andcognitive stages". (Robinson 2003).Performativity has yet to be explored in other areas of Translation Studies:Dubbing and Subtitling, where the on-screen words or those the actors mouthreperform, closely or not so closely, those of the original; theTranslator's Preface and other paratexts, which introduce a secondperformance to the original, supporting, contradicting, directing, ordiverting the reader from the original text; Natural Translation, where,within the immigrant family, the language performance skills of the childmay give him or her enormous power; translation for a specialized audiencesuch as children or the deaf, where the translation must perform a role toconstruct a specific relationship; and, last but not least, in InterpretingStudies, where the theatrical performance of the consecutive interpreter hasgenerally been replaced by the instantaneous performance of the conferenceinterpreter but can the interpreter remain neutral, a mere conduit for theideas of the speaker, or may some kind of bias seep in to the interpreter¹sperformance, as may happen in the cases of many community interpreters?This two day colloquium invites contributions from scholars on the variouscontexts of Performativity within Translation and Interpreting Studies.The colloquium will also commemorate the immense contribution to TranslationStudies in Hong Kong of Prof. Martha Cheung, whose groundbreakingscholarship shed important light on the historical and methodologicalpositioning not only of the translator but of the translation studiesscholar as well and introduced Chinese theories on Translation to manyscholars outside the Chinese world. Some of these contexts are:1. Theories of Performativity and their link to Translation Studies.2. Performativity in Theatre Translation.3. Performativity in Audiovisual Translation.4. Performativity and Translation in New Technologies.5. The Translator as Performing Agent.6. Performativity in Interpreting Studies.7. The Literary Translator as Performer.8. Performativity in Translation in different historical periods.9. Performativity and Translation at the borders.10. Performativity and Gender in Translation.11. Periperformativity as "performing the crowd". Invited scholars include Douglas Robinson, John Corbett, and Lawrence Wong.Please send proposals for papers (approximately 300 words) to DennitzaGabrakova <gdennitz@cityu.edu.hk <mailto:gdennitz@cityu.edu.hk>and JohnMilton <jmilton@usp.br <mailto:jmilton@usp.br> by 25 November 2013.
The workshop offers an opportunity to understand why there has been a gap between academic and professional communities, communicate helpful findings from recent research, identify common goals, and determine new directions for research which will have direct practical benefit in future. The event is hosted by Dr Joanna Drugan (University of East Anglia), whose book on Quality in Professional Translation (Bloomsbury, 2013) reports on how the translation industry currently assesses and improves translation quality. Confirmed panel members are Chris Durban, professional freelance translator and author of The Prosperous Translator (Lulu, 2010), and Prof. Juliane House (Hamburg), whose ground-breaking work on Translation Quality Assessment (Gunter Narr Verlag, 1977, 1997) is the reference in the field. Participants will be selected from the translation industry, translation clients and users, research and graduate students with an emerging interest in the field. Places are strictly limited to allow for effective networking on the day. Further details can be found at http://www.uea.ac.uk/lcs/research/news-and-events/translation-quality-uea-london. There is a nominal charge of £5 to secure a place and contribute to refreshments. If you would like to attend, please send an email to artsandhumanitiesevents@uea.ac.uk. Please indicate your status (translation provider, client, researcher etc) and explain briefly (<100 words) why you are interested in participating and what you would hope to gain from doing so. We will select participants to ensure a good balance across research and the industry then contact successful applicants with a secure link to register. Any questions can also be sent to artsandhumanitiesevents@uea.ac.uk.
