Co-sponsored by: International Association of Translation and Intercultural Studies (IATIS); Henan Normal University, Xinxiang, China Organized by: The School of Foreign Languages Studies, Henan Normal University Subthemes include (but are not limited to) the following: Translation and the Transformation of Culture; Translation and the Compilation of Literary History; Ethics in Renarration; Interpreting as Social Practice; Performing Translation; other related sub themes. Invited Speakers (international) and their topics: Mona Baker (The University of Manchester, UK); (Topic: The Socio-Narrative Approach to Translation & Interpreting) Sandra Bermann (Princeton University, USA); (Topic: Performing Translation: Language, Gender, and Social Practice) Theo Hermans (University College London, UK); (Topic: Translator Positioning and Translation as Added Value) Juliane House: (University of Hamburg, Germany); (Topic: English as a Lingua Franca and Translation) Description of the Event: There has probably never been such a time when translation is so closely connected with world changes and our social life, which greatly enhance awareness of the significance and relevance of translation to social and cultural transformations. Under current globalization circumstances, no single nation can face the various world challenges and achieve development without interaction with other nations. Translation and interpreting are no longer just linguistic performances but social practice, and the translator or interpreter is by no means an innocent bystander. S/he is deeply affected by various social, political as well as poetic factors in terms of what and how to translate. "The International Forum on Translation Studies", to be held at Henan Normal University (Xinxiang, China), aims to bring together some well-established world leading figures of translation studies to explore and discuss issues around the theme "Translation & Interpreting as Social Practice" , for a very productive and fruitful exchange of scholarship and the latest developments in the field. The invited speeches will cover a large range of topics relating to this broad theme. The conference is co-hosted by IATIS and HNU, and organized by the School of International Studies, HNU. There will be ample opportunities for audience participation and discussion, which will also be of great harvest.

The Creative Literary Studio is a place 'of' and 'for' textual creations. Here. we want to explore the act of writing and rewriting, and discover new experimental ways of text making, including translations, adaptations, revisitations. We are pleased to announce our second theme on translation and the art of text making: 'The Translation of Hispanic and South American writers'. What does it mean to engage with and translate such a diverse literature? The Studio strongly invites anybody to join this Latin American journey. If you translate and/or are interested in Spanish, Central and South American literarture in current times, do share with us your ideas and what it means to translate these literarues. Also to explore new perspectives in translating this kind of texts and push the boundaries, we invite you to try out a creative approach. You can post your own experimental translations (and also non-experimental) of Hispanic and Brazilian writers to thecreativeliterarystudio@gmail.com To know more visit http://thecreativeliterarystudio.wordpress.com

The rapid shift from a mass media to a digital media culture in the past couple of decades has been the subject of considerable research. One important facet of this shift has been the process of media convergence and the concomitant blurring of boundaries between production and consumption practices in a wide range of contexts, including citizen journalism (news reporting, community radio and television, documentary filmmaking), individual or participatory co-creational work (self-broadcasting, crowdsourcing, fansubbing, scanlation, gaming), networked platforms of public deliberation (blogging, wikis) and other performative expressions of publicness (graffiti and citizen photography). Focusing on the involvement of citizens in this emergent digital culture, this two-day colloquium organised by the Division of Languages and Intercultural Studies aims to bring together researchers and citizen media practitioners from different disciplinary and professional backgrounds with a view to sharing experiences and debating a number of recurrent themes in the field. These include: • interrogating the ‘citizen’ in ‘citizen media’: what senses of ‘citizenship’ are activated in citizen media practices, and with what implications; • the dialectic between citizen media and new technologies: empowering synergy or regulative tension; • strategic vs therapeutic forms of self-mediation: activism, hacktivism, alter-globalism, altruistic humanitarianism and narcisstic exhibitionism; • citizen media and protest movements; • the ethics of witnessing and solidarity; • playful forms of self-mediation (parody, satire); • the threat of co-optation: containing the subversive within existing structures of political and corporate power; • citizen media and the discursive constitution of public selves; • citizen media and the construction of communities; • citizen media and ‘the democratic deficit’; • citizen media practices and piracy. The programme is designed to ensure maximum participation by all attendees, and to allow sufficient time for discussion and exchange of views. There will be no parallel panels, andpresentation slots are therefore limited. Plenary speakers Stuart Allan is Professor of Journalism and Director of the Centre for Journalism and Communication Research at Bournemouth University, UK. He has published widely on the emergence and development of news on the Internet, the online reporting of war, conflict and crisis, science journalism, and citizen journalism. His most recent book, Citizen Witnessing: Revisioning Journalism in Times of Crisis, was published by Polity in January 2013. Bolette Blaagaard is Assistant Professor at Aalborg University, Denmark and former Research Fellow at City University, London, where she was involved in setting up an international network to debate issues of citizenship and journalism, as well as carrying out research on citizen journalism and its implications for journalistic practices and education. She is co-editor of After Cosmopolitanism (Routlege 2012) and Deconstructing Europe (Routledge 2011). Simon Lindgren is Professor of Sociology at Umeå University, Sweden. He researches digital culture with a focus on social connections, social organization and social movements. He is actively taking part in developing theoretical as well as methodological tools for analysing discursive and social network aspects of the evolving new media landscape. His publications cover themes like hacktivism, digital piracy, citizen journalism, subcultural creativity and learning, popular culture and visual politics. Simon is the author of New Noise: A Cultural Sociology of Digital Disruption (2013). Ivan Sigal is Executive Director and co-founder of Global Voices, a community of more than 700 authors and 600 translators around the world who collect and make available reports from blogs and citizen media everywhere,with emphasis on voices that are not ordinarily heard in international mainstream media. He is author of White Road (Steidl Verlag 2012) and has extensive experience in supporting and training journalists and working on media co-productions in the Soviet Union and Asia.

About this event The failure of translation-based language teaching to help learners develop cross-cultural, communicative competences for professional work has been widely acknowledged in the literature – with specialists in second language acquisition, translator training and specialized language instruction proposing different ways to reform current pedagogical practices and curricular structures. Against this backdrop, the ongoing shift from an electronic to a digital culture has brought into sharp relief further limitations of translation-based language teaching, some of which have received far less attention to date. As new textual practices that coordinate text and images become the norm, multimodal forms of literacy that allow users to analyse and retrieve meaning conveyed through different types of semiotic resources need to be articulated, taught and acquired. At the same time, technological advances underpinning the emergence of new text forms are also promoting changes in the consumption and distribution of translated texts – often creating new discourse communities where text producers and users interact with one another, as well as engage with the values and narratives inscribed in the texts. Such widespread collaborative forms of translation are boosting the visibility of translation and interpreting activities in new settings, increasingly turning language and intercultural mediation into non-referential expressions of subjectivity and affectivity. Given the centrality of the notion of ‘medium’ to these developments, whether in terms of its materiality or the pedagogical/theoretical discourses that it fosters, this event will revolve around the theme of (inter)mediality in translated and interpreted texts. In addition to a range of presentations on different aspects of this theme, the event will include ample opportunity for discussion and audience participation. PROGRAMME 9.00 – 9.30 Registration and Coffee 9.30 – 9.40 Welcome and Introduction to the Event Dr Luis Pérez-González (University of Manchester) 9.40 – 10.40 Translating Between Media Dr Karin Littau (University of Essex) In this presentation I will attempt two things. The first is to outline the landscape or, as Marshall McLuhan called it, the ‘environment’ of intermediality. The second is to locate the role and nature of translation in this environment, especially in view of the fact that this environment is rapidly changing. If intermediality is that state in which there is no settled dominant medium but always several interrelated media, remediating, transforming and jostling one another in directions unsupported by a host medium, then translation occupies the role of the bond between them. As will become clear, this role due to the nature of the media concerned, is not predominantly linguistic; but neither for that reason is it not translation. The question for translation, as for cultural production in general, is how is it remediated in the intermedial landscape in which it acts. 10.40 – 11.10 Coffee Break 11.10 – 12.10 Translating Media Content in/for the Digital Culture Dr Luis Pérez-González (University of Manchester) The tight control that the industry has historically exerted over audiovisual translators has meant that some professional practices have remained unchanged during most of the 20th century. Prime among these conventions is the premise that translators can only intervene in the linguistic component of audiovisual texts. Under this conceptualisation of audiovisual translation as a process of textual manipulation enabling the shift from spoken to written language, the literature on audiovisual translator training and foreign language pedagogy has been dominated by discourses of pragmatic and representational loss in translation. Over the last decade, however, developments in communication technologies have brought about the proliferation of self-mediated textualities, new amateur translation (mainly subtitling) agencies and innovative intermedial strategies. This presentation delivers an overview of emergent transformative subtitling practices in the digital culture; it explores how intermediality is used to promote different forms of subjective and engaged spectatorial experiences, and considers the pedagogical implications of these developments. 12.10 – 13.00 Discussion 13.00 – 14.00 Lunch (served at venue) 14.00 – 15.00 Performability: What Can Theatre Teach us about Translation? Dr Geraldine Brodie (University College London) Theatre presents a multifaceted site for the study of translation. The range of collaborative activity and terminology around translation for the theatre demonstrates the differing degrees of agency and visibility that constitute the translational act. Furthermore, the performance aspects of theatre techniques can inform the process of translation beyond those pages destined for the stage. This presentation investigates the role of performance in translation, exploring the significance of translation/version/adaptation terminology within theatre and what it reveals, or conceals, about the agency of the translator(s) and collaborative theatre practices. I will suggest that these elements of theatre translation can not only be applied when researching other specialisms within translation and interpretation, but can also assist in the teaching and learning of translation. 15.00 – 16.00 Extending Interconnectedness in Translation and Interpreting: Implications for Signed Language and Spoken Language Pedagogy Prof Jemina Napier (Heriot-Watt University) Intermediality refers to interconnectedness. As a means of expression and exchange, languages depend on, and refer to, various text types and increasingly draw on different media. Signed languages depend on the interconnectedness between the signed modality and the speech modality, as evidenced through language contact between, for example, English and British Sign Language (BSL) in the form of mouthing and fingerspelling. Signed language interpreting relies on bimodality as practitioners move between two language forms, and training of signed language interpreters has benefitted from the digital age with the availability of video media. But what of the interconnectedness between signed and spoken language interpreting? Facility with language can be extended by exposing students to bimodal language learning, and to various media to enhance their understanding of how languages work in context, thus equipping them with a greater means of expression and exchange. These ideas will be discussed within the context of the new innovative undergraduate programme at Heriot-Watt University, which enables interpreting students to study BSL alongside another spoken language. 16.00 – 16.50 Discussion 16.50 – 17.00 Closing Remarks Prof Mona Baker (University of Manchester) Registration · The online registration facility will be available in early March 2013. · Registration fee: £50 (includes lunch and refreshments) Getting to the Manchester Conference Centre http://www.manchesterconferencecentre.co.uk/uploads/Step_by_step_location_map.pdf
Films and TV series have been dubbed and subtitled all over the world for decades, however since the advent of DVD, the rise of the internet, and, more recently, the popularity of certain Scandinavian series, interest in media which is not originally in English has increased. Of course, for most countries outside of the English-speaking world, dubbing and/or subtitling have been the norm since the very beginnings of cinema and television. The panel will consider various aspects of these two different approaches to film translation as well as the role of the professionals involved. Changing attitudes towards audiovisual translation over time and geography will also be discussed. The evening will include an opportunity to view a new documentary, The Invisible Subtitler, directed by Aliakbar Campwala, and examiningthe role of the film subtitler.
