The AHRC theme ‘Translating Cultures’ has been highly significant in furthering research across a wide range of disciplines. The event at the British Academy provides the opportunity to discuss the contribution that the theme has made to the development of Modern Languages by bringing together speakers from across the disciplinary field. The event also provides the opportunity to discuss the Policy Report ‘Reframing language education for a global future’, prepared by the large grant ‘Transnationalizing Modern Languages’ (TML). See: http://www.bris.ac.uk/policybristol/policy-briefings/transnationalizing-modern-languages/ The event is free and open to all, though places are limited.

The focus of the conference will lie on a particular kind of memory: fictional and testimonial literature’s memories of traumatic pasts, i.e. memories of wars, genocide, dictatorship, colonial oppression, terror and other forms of politically and ethnically motivated violence. We propose to consider literary fictions and testimony that deal with these issues as media of ‘cultural memory’ in the sense of Jan Assmann (1992) and Aleida Assmann (2012), i.e. of collectively shared visions of the past which emerge from historical knowledge stored in and transmitted by cultural objects and practices and which circulate and are negotiated in the (trans)cultural sphere. What happens when texts that represent, perform and negotiate traumatic memories are translated into other languages and therefore into other cultural contexts? What is the importance of particular translation strategies, of paratextual framing, of different horizons of expectation and reception for the transmission of cultural reminiscence? Which role do the translations, the translators and other agents of translation play for memory’s transcultural, cross-border ‘travels’? Is there an ‘ethics of translation’ when it comes to the transfer of memories of past crimes? These are some of the question that the conference wants to address. The far-reaching absence of dialogue between translation studies scholars and those cultural studies scholars interested in questions of translation seems to be mainly a consequence of the different concepts of ‘translation’ that are at play. On the one hand, cultural studies scholars advocate for a wide-ranging concept that understands ‘translation’ in a broad and metaphorical sense, referring for instance to the transfers between cultures, areas of knowledge or academic disciplines. This is for instance the case in Doris Bachmann-Medick’s work on the ‘translational turn’ in the humanities (see Bachmann-Medick 2009). On the other hand, translation studies scholars tend to criticize this conceptual widening and claim the importance of a more specific and narrow concept of translation that keeps ‘translation proper’ as its point of reference (see Dizdar 2009, Heller 2017). In focusing on memories of traumatic pasts in fictional and testimonial literature and in fostering a dialogue between memory scholars interested in questions of translation and translation scholars interested in questions of memory the conference wants to stimulate productive discussions that transcend the binarity of these two positions and that scrutinize the cross-fertilizations between the two academic disciplines. Confirmed keynote speakers: Susan Bassnett (University of Warwick) and Lucy Bond (University of Westminster) Scholars interested in participating and presenting a paper are invited to send their abstracts (including short biographical information) of not more than 350 words to the organizers:claudia.juenke@uibk.ac.at, Desiree.Schyns@UGent.be. Deadline for the submission of abstracts of papers: 15 January 2019Notification of the acceptance of the papers will be sent until the end of February 2019 We encourage the proposal of papers both on theoretical and conceptual aspects and on particular case studies (on different genres such as narrative, poetry, drama, graphic novels, testimony, autobiography) that reflect on the intersections of memory and translation and that explicitly tackle the problems, questions and desiderata addressed in this description. The language of the conference is English; the presentations should not exceed 20 minutes as we want to have sufficient time for discussion.
Since its first session was convened in 2007, the Nida School of Translation Studies has sought to advance research in translation through active collaboration with scholars from around the globe, bringing together varying perspectives and methodologies, challenging traditional disciplinary boundaries, and encouraging original thinking about what translation is and where it takes place in a globalized world. As part of this effort, each fall since 2011, NSTS has held a high-level research symposium in New York City, a creative event that brings into dialogue varied perspectives on an established theme. Since 2015, the Center for Applied Liberal Arts at NYU’s School of Professional Studies has joined forces with NSTS and the San Pellegrino Foundation (Italy) to carry forward this tradition of a one-day translation-oriented research event. This year’s symposium will engage ongoing discussions around translation, materiality and publishing, drawing together theoretical and practical perspectives on both print and digital formats and the many movements in between. This year's NSTS Research Symposium will be paired with NYU's own Translation Symposium on Saturday, September 29, 2018, to create an exciting two-day Translation Conference.

On 29 June 2018, The Centre for Translation and Comparative Cultural Studies of the University of Nottingham hosted a conference that brought together a range of scholars presenting their thoughts on the role that Google Translate and similar technologies may play in language education, translator training and higher education in general. A number of speakers kindly agreed to have their talks filmed for dissemination of their work. These recordings are now available for viewing online.We hope that they help stimulate discussions around this topic. The videos can be viewed on the conference website: https://www.nottingham.ac.uk/conference/fac-arts/clas/google-translate-and-modern-languages-education/conference-videos/conference-videos.aspx
The 3rd East Asian Translation Studies Conference (EATS 3) DESCRIPTION Dates: June 28-29, 2019 Venue: Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, Italy Keynote Speakers: Prof Anthony Pym (University of Melbourne) Prof Giorgio Amitrano (Università di Napoli L’Orientale) Conference Theme: “From the Local to the Global and Back. Translation as a Construction of Plural and Dialogic Identities of East Asia” This Conference on East Asian Translation Studies (EATS) aims to provide a platform for translators and researchers working in the East Asian context (China, Korea and Japan in particular) to exchange ideas on issues related to translation. The first East Asian Translation Studies Conference was held at the University of East Anglia, UK, on 19-20 June 2014, which was successfully concluded with fruitful discussions on history, practice, and theory of translation, as well as new trends in the field. The second conference held at Meiji University in Japan on July 9-10, 2016 was a continuation of those dialogues, bringing the focus on the concept and role of “East Asia” and its influence on translation studies (TS). The Third Conference will be held at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice on June 28-29, 2019. We wish to promote a general discussion on how translation has been influenced by contemporary global/local contradictions in the East Asian sphere. People’s mobility and migration as well as travelling ideas and theories are the fertile soil for the practice of translation, texts and people being deeply transformed by language and culture contamination.The conference theme “From the Local to the Global and Back. Translation as a Construction of Plural and Dialogic Identities of East Asia” intends to provide participants an opportunity to share their views on East Asian translation and its scholarship and to seek the possibility to extend the concept and role of East Asia to further develop TS. Final Round Table: Area studies and translation studies: ideas, synergies and research methodology We invite papers on the following topics and beyond: Translation and interpreting in East Asia;East Asian traditions of literary translation;Circulation and consumption of translation in East Asia;Networks and collaborations among interpreters and translators;Translation and interpreting for immigrant communities in East Asia;Community interpreting in East AsiaPost-colonial approaches to translation;Gender identities in the East Asian context;Pedagogical approach to translation in East Asia;Translation in popular culture, such as animation, comics, music, TV dramas, films;Translation by amateurs, such as fansubs, scanlations and volunteer translation;Translation studies and the digital;Machine translation, computer-aided translation and East Asian languages. We also welcome proposals for cross-language panels on inspiring topics (either 3 or 6 speakers in one panel). The conference language is English. Please note this in your abstract submission. We plan to publish selected papers.

From the 25th until the 28th of August 2018, Shahid Beheshti University organizes the first Summer School in Translation Studies for translation, interpreting and localization professionals and translation studies students who are looking for a practice-oriented and state-of-the-art introduction to translation, interpreting and localization processes, issues and tools. The summer school in Translation Studies will be an up-to-date educational journey for everyone including STUDENTS (bachelor, master, diploma & doctoral students), POSTDOCS and GROUP LEADERS with a background in Translation Studies. The program includes lectures by internationally renowned & top experts, student presentations in the workshops after teaching by instructors as well as interactive sessions to meet the speakers & experts and foster networking within our scientific community. The aim of the school is to gather graduate students and specialists in a scientific place and sharing scientific information together. We plan to have several mini-courses & regular talks as well. The Summer School program is designed to study various subjects and join the educational group for gaining various skillsIn the last decades, translation, interpreting and localization have become an absolute necessity in meeting the global translation and communication needs. To increase their employability, the professionals selling translation services need to become tech-savvy and digitally literate. The market offers a myriad of skills, techniques, tools and resources that can be used in every step of the translation and interpreting process. But how can one know which ones to include in their toolbox to optimize their translation, interpreting, and/or localization workflow? During this four-day event, experienced trainers and experts from both the academic and the commercial world will answer this question through presentations, hands-on workshops, and case scenarios.
