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

Download attachment: Nomination form for IATIS Executive Committee 2021 Nominations and Voting Procedure for IATIS Context The governing body of IATIS is an elected Executive Council comprising: The President; The Two Vice-Presidents; Twelve to fifteen additional Council Members. The Executive Council will be elected for a four-year term by a ballot of individual members. In the case of the resignation of a member before the end of his/her term, the Executive Council may appoint a replacement member for the remainder of the term. Members of the Executive Council cannot serve for more than two consecutive terms. Existing EC members who are eligible to run for a second term are obliged to seek re-election in the same way as any other candidate. Committee Chairs are appointed by the President, assisted by the Executive Council for a period of four years and are not required to run for election. The position of Committee Chairs on the Executive Council is ‘ex-officio’. Committee Chairs will inform the President, the Vice Presidents and the Chair of the Executive Council once every year about the work of the committee. Chairs may be reappointed by the President for additional terms, subject to majority approval by the Executive Council. If Chairs fail to fulfil their role adequately, they may be unappointed and replaced. Nominations Procedure Nominees must be members of IATIS prior to nomination. Membership status of all nominees shall be confirmed by the IATIS Membership Committee; A nominee must have a first and second proposer, both of whom must be members of IATIS at the time of nomination. The nominee must give consent before s/he is proposed. The first proposer is responsible for submitting the nomination. Both proposers must supply their contact information on the nomination form. The IATIS Nominations Committee will contact both proposers to confirm their status as first and second proposer.

Candidates will be requested to submit a photograph with this form. Candidates must submit this form by a specific deadline (to be communicated in the announcement), otherwise their nomination will become invalid; At least 30 days’ notice will be given to the membership of the deadline for the receipt of nominations.

Call for papers Sustainability and Translation Annual International Conference of the Institute of Culture Studies and Theatre History at the Austrian Academy of Sciences Vienna (13-15 October 2021) [Concept: Federico Italiano] Despite its current socio-political urgency and the growing importance of eco-criticism in universities around the globe, the concept of ‘sustainability’ has been slow in carving out a central position in the humanities. Its marginality is perhaps due to the inherent complexity of the concept itself, its irreducible transdisciplinarity (ecology, economy and sociology) and the numerous disputes it experienced since 1987, when the World Commission on Environment and Development defined it as an activity that “meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (WCED 1987: 39). Nevertheless, it is today an irremissible concept for participating in the global debate on our responsibility towards our planet and our future. Hence, this conference will try to fill this gap by focusing on the relationship between sustainability and translation processes. In particular, it will investigate in what sense translation—understood as both a linguistic undertaking and a cultural cross-cultural negotiation—is a sustainable practice, what makes it such, if there are translations more sustainable than others and to what extent a sustainable translation is a desirable goal. Drawing on Michael Cronin’s Eco-Translation: Translation and Ecology in the Age of the Anthropocene (2017)—so far, the only monograph explicitly dedicated to the subject—the conference aims at showing how fundamental it is to put translation at the centre of any political, cultural and scientific reflection on climate change and social equity. The objective of this conference, however, is neither to establish ‘sustainability’ as a new normative concept for translation studies nor to make translation more ‘ecological’; it is rather an attempt at opening the concept of ‘sustainability’ to debate around translation processes and cultural negotiations. Therefore, alongside the central issue of the relationship between translation and ecology, the conference will ask questions about what makes certain translation processes more sustainable than others in terms of equity and social justice; what role the sustainability of a translation plays in the transfer and circulation of knowledge; and what criteria can be used to evaluate the sustainability of a translation in highly codified fields such as philosophy, literature or jurisprudence. These questions will not only shed light onto translation as a cultural practice motivated by concerns around resilience, adaptability and ‘placeness’, but also contribute to a more precise comprehension of the translational dimension of sustainability. Possible topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Eco-translation and environmental translation Political ecology of translation Translation and sustainable development Translation and social equity “Slow” translation versus digital translation Sustainability and translation technologies Translation and toxic heritage Sustainable translation policies Sustainability and literary translation Translation of endangered languages Minority languages in the context of technical, scientific and/or juridical translation The relationship between emotional/cultural resilience and translation Translation and empowerment If you wish to present a paper, please send a brief abstract (300 words) and a short bio, to federico.italiano@oeaw.ac.at AND juliane.fink@oeaw.ac.at by midnight on Saturday 3 July 2021.
