The translation of travel narratives, literary travelogues, nautical fictions has not only introduced the “unknown” but also created an imaginary geo-territorial space based on the global power politics. As such, the proposed panel seeks to focus on the relationship between translation and spatiality from the geographical and/or geometrical perspective. How does the geographical, geometrical and geocritical factors influence translational power dynamics? What are the coordinating points that connect translation with geoterritoriality? We will accept proposals that can deal with but not restricted to the following sub-themes: Translation and cartographic imagination Translational movement within geometrical coordinates Territoriality, Spatiality, and translational plane Travel and Translation Translation as negotiation between spaces Translation and territorial politics Translated texts as geographical spaces of contact

The cutting edge of translation research is shifting. Technological and societal developments in recent years have seen dramatic changes in the ways translated texts are produced, used, and appraised. These changes have created ground-breaking new research themes, ranging from ethics and technology, to identity and crowd-sourcing. The Advances in Translation Research series will act as a platform for scholars at the forefront of these emerging research themes to demonstrate the expanding breadth of translation research today, to help illustrate its exciting implications for every domain of study, and to foster innovation and collaboration. The series will be free to attend, and will welcome everyone interested in knowing more about translation. No registration required. The seminars will be at: Institute of Modern Languages Research University of London School of Advanced Study Senate House Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU The first seminar is scheduled for 04/11/2015, and will see Luis Perez-Gonzalez of the University of Manchester discuss radical uses of translation that affect social or political change. More details can be found here.

Context: The rise of migration and multilingualism in Europe requires professional interpreters in business, legal, medical and many other settings. Future interpreters therefore need to master an ever broadening range of interpreting skills. This is difficult to achieve with traditional teaching methods and in times of reduced teaching contact hours. Also, in many emerging interpreting scenarios, a client-side understanding of how to work with an interpreter is crucial, but efforts to educate clients are scarce and normally separate from interpreter education. ICT-based solutions have been employed in interpreter training to make teaching resources such as audio or video clips available and easily reusable. As a more advanced solution, virtual learning environments, i.e. remote or online learning and teaching facilities, have been developed to overcome problems of trainer availability and to offer more flexibility for learners. The effective integration of such solutions into everyday learning and teaching is still a point of contention, but at the same time, a new generation of ICT-based tools and platforms (e.g. Web 2.0, social software and 3D virtual environments), with the potential to provide more dynamic and comprehensive support for learning and teaching, is rapidly growing in popularity. These solutions enable users - including learners from different contexts such as interpreting students and their potential clients (e.g. law students) - to meet and interact in virtual educational spaces, thus fostering experiential and autonomous learning, and different forms of learner collaboration. Equally important, given the increasing use of different forms of ICT-based and ‘remote’ interpreting, the use of emerging technologies in training contexts will also help interpreting students and their clients acquire digital competence and prepare them for an important aspect of future professional practice.

First, in cultural terminology (Diki-Kidiri 2008) the object of study is to facilitate the acquisition of new knowledge and technologies, with people mastering and changing their environment while preserving their cultural heritage and how terminology in the native languages is developed. A number of linguistic communities in several parts of the world experience a serious lack of terminology in scientific and technological domains. Under these circumstances new terms are coined that are preferably embedded in the culture and the language that is in need of terminology development. Language’s creative force allows for coining terminology in several ways. Variation in scientific terminology used by different textbooks in schools might be a result of poor language planning by some governments. This situation may call for harmonization and standardization in order not to complicate access to and even cause exclusion from scientific research and progress at a national and international level. Second, in a global setting, drafters of law as well as legal translators and interpreters have to take into consideration that most legal texts are connected to the historical and cultural background of their legal systems. Consequently, legal terminology in an intercultural and multilingual setting is difficult to harmonize (Derlén 2009). Within the European Union, for instance, efforts are being made to get away from one particular cultural heritage, in order to move into a new era of agreed upon legal documents, regulations, rules, directives. Some contributors to the seminar will share their research results on the confrontation of known, agreed upon European concepts with the existing legal orders in the member states. One of the themes is how European secondary terms survive the confrontation with existing terminology at the national level of the member states. National legal terminology is bound by national legal and cultural traditions. The interpretation of the terminology takes place within a particular legal order. When legal terminology appears in a multinational context and when a common reference point for the actors of different legal systems is at stake, a harmonization process will be triggered. The EU legislation is expressed by a series of equally authentic language versions of the legal acts. Whether official European texts actually mean the same in different cultures and different languages is debatable, because of different world views in each country with its own legal system and cultural traditions. Even though the rule of law forms part of our shared European cultural experience, how the term is interpreted may depend on several contextual factors. All invited speakers to the seminar will be asked to concentrate on possible research questions and methodologies bearing on one or several of the following issues: culture-bound terminology, specialized translation, intercultural communication, Euro-language, language planning, harmonization, standardization, multilingual communication, legal language, scientific and technical language.
