SOAS University of London languages and cultures scholars have been awarded UKRI/AHRC funding for a research project examining Covid-19 public health information among linguistically diverse communities in London. Led by Dr Nana Sato-Rossberg (Principal Investigator) Head of School of Languages, Cultures and Linguistics, and the three Co-investigators Dr Yan Jiang, Professor Lutz Marten, and Professor Edward Simpson, the project will involve a team of 14 SOAS languages and cultures experts and anthropologists, who will investigate how information about Covid-19 and associated risks flows is translated in 14 different languages spoken in London. London is a highly multilingual community – there are more than 200 languages spoken in London’s primary schools alone. Many of London’s multilingual and multicultural communities have access to, and rely on, information about Covid-19 in several languages. As a result, London’s migrant, ethnic, and minority communities are engaged in translating and interpreting Covid-19 information from different sources and often adopt a variety of perspectives, which will inform their understanding of and behavioural response to the pandemic. The communities involved in this project speak languages as diverse as Standard Arabic, Algerian Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Punjabi, Turkish, Urdu, Somali, Swahili, and Yoruba. The project will collect, document, and synthesize individual accounts from community members in London, information in the target languages published in London, and information available to community members from their (historical) home countries, their governments and on social media. The project will draw on the extensive language and cultural expertise at SOAS in collaboration with public agencies and community representatives.

This one-day event will explore how translation is used as a creative and artistic tool in order to cope with situations of crisis. The past years have witnessed extensive social and political unrest, economic turmoil and mass migration, giving rise to collective experiences of conflict and dislocation, and sometimes empowerment and emancipation, that have affected the lives of millions. These experiences are often recounted against the normative background of English as lingua franca using the dynamic of translation in various formats, such as interviews, narratives, cultural texts and visuals, video diaries and blogs. In these non-fictional texts, translation transcends its representational function, incorporating creative and politically meaningful practices of re-narration, re-enactment, self-translation, adaptation and intercultural communication, often in the form of digital and audiovisual media. Whether prompted by a need to articulate subjective experience in dominant idioms, to advocate new causes on international platforms, or to develop new media and art forms that challenge given orders of cultural transmission and exchange, translation is increasingly present in affective, pro-active and/or critical responses to situations of crisis. This event will bring together: i) artists, filmmakers and journalists who have performed or used translation as a creative practice in their work; ii) professional and/or non-professional translators whose work relates to contexts of crisis; iii) academics who are studying creative uses of translation in socially/politically engaged contexts. Participants •Paul Antick (photographer and lecturer, Roehampton): 'Crisis'. From field to field •Irene Artegiani (translator and researcher, Roehampton) and Matteo Saltalippi (filmmaker and researcher, Goldsmiths): Crisis of a translation: When Germans become Krauts •Dimitris Asimakoulas (lecturer and researcher, Surrey): Comic heroes in Aristophanic graphic novels: Translating war and the battle of the poets •Davide Camarrone (journalist and writer): Literatures migrate. The migration of the literary text •Sue Clayton (filmmaker, Professor of film and television, Goldsmiths): "I am in Belgium and I am tired of God": Texts, films and translation in work with Calais unaccompanied minors •Kumiko Kiuchi (translator and lecturer, Tokyo Institute of Technology): Ask not "do you belong to this landscape?" but "does this landscape belong to you?" Patrick Keiller's Robinson trilogy in translation •Kevin McElvaney (photographer): #RefugeeCameras: Trying to see the individual behind the anonymous concept of a ‘refugee’? •Alessandra Rizzo (lecturer and researcher, Palermo): "Translation as re-narration" in the visual arts: Adaptation and performance in Queens of Syria and Odisseo Arriving Alone.

Popular texts are often the object of radical manipulations when translated. While the low cultural status attributed to popular genres may in many instances be deemed responsible for such practices, it is also true that popular fiction has often been under a regime of ‘surveillance’, supposedly aimed at protecting the ‘masses’ from “corrupting and degenerate” material. The perception of popular texts as innately dangerous may lead to different forms of social constraint, ranging from the banning and failure to translate texts regarded as offensive to self-censorship aimed at cleansing texts of ‘unsuitable’ elements. Textual control may be applied in translation in multiple and diluted ways: one crucial problem in relation to popular texts is that since popular fiction is represented both as aesthetically inferior and non-educational, censorious interventions may be camouflaged as operations of textual improvement. These and other key issues will be debated during the workshop which brings together a group of researchers interested in the translation of popular culture, and more specifically in the translation of popular narrative genres such as crime fiction, science fiction, romance, horror, western, etc., whether instantiated in written texts or in other media.

11 - 12 December, 2015 Department of Translation Studies, Graz, Austria This interdisciplinary research symposium aims to connect different strands of research dealing with translation in the sciences, social sciences and humanities. The focus will be on different methodological approaches chosen by individual researchers and implications of these approaches for understandings of translating science, the circulation of academic thought and social knowledge-making.

The symposium seeks to understand how the discipline and scientific thinking on it has evolved in this region as Translation Studies appears to be dominated by Western, especially Western European, traditions. This has been criticized by many Translation Studies scholars who also underline the importance of readdressing this imbalance (e.g.: Baker 1998; Tymoczko 2010).This has been criticized by many Translation Studies scholars who also underline the importance of readdressing this imbalance (e.g.: Baker 1998; Tymoczko 2010). In recent years there have been an increasing number of research initiatives to also include non-Western perspectives in Translation Studies and enlarge Western translation theory (e.g. Tymoczko 2003; Cheung 2006; Wakabayashi/Kothari 2009). Furthermore, there have been special issues in leading Translation Studies journals dedicated to the decentering of Translation Studies, such as the TIS 2011 special issue on Eurocentrism or Western approaches to Translation (Studies) or the Translator's 2009 special issues on nation and translation in the Middle East and Chinese discourses on translation. A look at our literature, as well as our past and upcoming Translation Studies conferences, shows that Eastern European perspectives have so far hardly been integrated into our discipline. Hence, the upcoming event is an effort towards making these voices heard. The focus of this symposium will be both on the differences and similarities in the evolution of Translation Studies and academic reflections on translation between Eastern Europe and Western Europe. Paper proposals should reflect this focus. Being fully aware of the fact that Eastern Europe is in no way homogeneous, but rather highly multifaceted, we are looking forward to diverse papers and lively discussions. We welcome proposals for oral and poster presentations, as well as panel discussions.
