Translation is a many-faceted activity. It may be an art for those who, observing from a distance, marvel at its most creative and seductive side; a powerful mediation tool for those with the opportunity to experience the support and solidarity of its most humanitarian work; an arduous and less idealized profession for those who practice it on a daily basis. By typecasting translation into watertight categories, definitions often fail to account for its manifold nature and the intricate system of factors underlying it. This I International Conference on Translation and Interpreting, organized by the Translation and Interpreting Department of the University of Murcia (10-12 September, 2014), aims at fostering critical thinking in the field, examining the multiple faces of translation and reflecting on feasible ways to bring this activity closer to researchers, students, teachers and professionals within the field. The working languages of the conference will be Spanish, English and French, but papers exploring aspects of other languages (Italian, German, Arabic) are also welcome. Participation is open to scholars, students and teachers in the field of Translation Studies, as well as to professional translators and interpreters, translation companies, linguists, terminologists, publishers, etc. Confirmed Plenary Speakers: Frank Austermühl.

Although searches for “Translation and Power” and “Translation and Censorship” do come up with some articles relating to the translation processes during and immediately after the fall of the so-called Third Reich, they are few and far between. The few articles published suggest that little research has been done in this field from the point of view of translation studies. Translation and interpreting are actions within discourse. A period of drastic change in discourse and value systems, such as took place between 1933 and 1949, was bound to have had a major impact on translation. Alongside general academic interest in researching this period from the point of view of translation studies, the following specific issues arise: how did translation function within the forced discourse changes under National Socialism? How did translation function in the service of National Socialism? Who were the stakeholders, decision makers, mediators and gate keepers of the new "values" and how much leeway did they have? What happened after the collapse of the Third Reich in 1945? Is this a period that can provide new insights into the historiography of translation? The conference provides a platform and forum for scholars who are engaged with these questions. Key topics: · Translation in the service of National Socialism · Translation and (foreign) policy · Translation during the Second World War (within the system of forced labour, the military / the 'Wehrmacht' / the Allied Forces) · Literary translations and translators · Subversive translation · Translations by victims · Translators who were persecuted, silenced and forgotten · Translation and resistance · Translation in the occupied zones in the post-war era Further suggestions are welcome !

The Department of English Language and Literature, Cairo University, and the Centre for Translation and Intercultural Studies, University of Manchester, are establishing a new, research-driven MA programme in Translation Studies at the Faculty of Arts, Cairo University. The project was formally launched during the first workshop held at Cairo University, 9-10 December 2013. This second workshop will focus on designing and delivering a research-driven curriculum for four components of the new degree: research tools; theoretical foundations; audiovisual translation; and literary translation. The public lecture by Professor Theo Hermans on 27 April will engage with themes that underpin the entire curriculum. Project Coordinators: Mona Baker (Manchester) and Hoda Elsadda (Cairo) Working Group: Mona Baker, Hoda Elsadda, Theo Hermans, Luis Pérez-Gonzàlez, Walid El Hamamsy, Hala Kamal, Sahar Sobhi, Lamis El Naqqash, Loubna Youssef, Randa Abou Bakr, Hoda Ayyad. Sunday 27th April 4:00-6:00 pm Public lecture Faculty of Arts annex: Conference hall Positioning Translators Professor Theo Hermans, University of Manchester and University College London Abstract: Starting from a set of examples that show translators voicing explicit reservations about the works they are translating, I explore the similarities between translations of this type and the ironic story-telling known as discordant narration. I go on to present a model of translation as reported discourse, more particularly that variety of reported speech in which the speaker’s attitude towards the message being reported is relevant for understanding the overall communication. This model enables a view of translators as conveying value judgements and positioning themselves in and through their translations. I conclude by suggesting practical ways in which receivers can discern a translator’s positioning. Monday 28th April Room 13 English Department 10.00-11:30 am The Translator as Researcher: Classroom Training in Cultural Translation Professor Mostafa Riad, Ain Shams University Abstract: There is a growing need for introducing students of translation to the concept of the translator as researcher who would recognize and resolve translation problems as opposed to resorting to mere speculation, or at best a hasty looking up of definitions in bilingual dictionaries. ‘Research Tools for Translators’ increasingly features in translation curricula and classes often convene in computer labs, allowing students faster online research. Information sought varies from background information to the unfolding of specific cultural references or allusions. As translation theory has been encouraging a move beyond linguistic considerations to meta-linguistic ones, the focus on cultural communication increases and ‘culturemes’ have become an accepted unit for the translator/researcher to take into consideration. This workshop suggests classroom activities aimed at encouraging research in the practice of translation. These include using reference works to resolve translation problems, comparing and contrasting source and target texts with a view to revealing translators’ policies, as well as encouraging students to produce their findings in descriptive essays. 11:00-12:30 pm Theoretical Frameworks and Research Methodologies Professor Mona Baker, University of Manchester Abstract: This workshop will offer a brief overview of attempts to theorize translation from a variety of perspectives: as textual, historical, aesthetic, social and political activity that impacts the wider context in which it takes place. A broad range of approaches will be discussed, including linguistic approaches, sociological approaches, feminist approaches, and postcolonial approaches. The emphasis will be on examining the assumptions underlying each approach and the methodological implications of these assumptions. The workshop is intended to provide a starting point for developing an up-to-date syllabus for a course on translation theory. A reading list will be provided to allow attendees to develop their own detailed syllabus in future. 12:30-1:00 pm Coffee break 1:00-2:30 pm Audiovisual Translation in the Postgraduate Curriculum: Integrating Professional and Research Preparation Dr. Luis Pérez-González, University of Manchester Abstract: The need to translate audiovisual texts has grown exponentially over the last three decades. Originally developed to facilitate the international distribution of motion pictures, audiovisual translation is now central to a wider and more heterogeneous range of screen-mediated activities. It now encompasses traditional modalities, such as subtitling, dubbing and voice-over, but also new techniques like audio description and subtitling for the hard of hearing. This workshop explores the place of audiovisual translation in postgraduate taught programmes that aim to integrate professional and research preparation in translation studies. In designing up-to-date curricula, trainers need to ensure that the development of practical and technological competences is informed by a range of theoretical insights pertaining to the (sub)cultures in which the production and consumption of audiovisual texts are embedded. In this integrated approach, trainees are empowered to critically assess the implications of their adherence to or departure from widely held translation conventions in the field, whether they work for the industry or as part of non-professional groupings. Participants in the workshop will be provided with a reading list and a handout with links to recommended online resources for the development of an audiovisual translation syllabus at MA level. 2:30-4:00 pm Lunch break 4.00-5:30 pm A Workshop on Literary Translation Professor Theo Hermans, University of Manchester and University College London Historically, the amount of attention that literary translation has received from translators and critics is comparable only to the attention lavished on the translation of sacred scriptures. Literary translation has generated such a vast critical and reflective discourse primarily because of the perceived inherent difficulty of translating literary texts and the social relevance of literature as offering images and self-images of particular communities. These factors are still largely valid today, but they need to be complemented by institutional and typological considerations. The workshop aims to supply ideas and materials on which a graduate syllabus for a course in literary translation might be built. It will explore a range of aspects of literary translation grouped under the following headings: Genres and types of literature, including such oppositions as high vs popular literature; fiction vs non-fiction (e.g. autobiography, journalism or popular science writing); literature for adults vs literature for children and adolescents; migrant and culturally hybrid writing; graphic novels; Textual aspects, including e.g. formal constraints (such as metrical or rhyming verse), intertextuality and cultural references, narrative vs dialogue, the translation of style and the phenomenon of re-translation; Institutional aspects, from publishers and the role of agents and editors to legal and financial aspects (copyright, contracts) and the importance of global translation flows; The translation workshop in which students and staff engage in collective hands-on practice and explore how individuals might build up expertise and launch themselves in a professional environment while making ethical choices.
The increasing pace of change facilitated by technology, multiculturalism,data explosion, political changes, globalisation and its economics hasaffected the way translators and interpreters work. We are expected to workfaster, while acquiring a vast range of skills often unrelated to the actualprocessing of words: marketing, programming, project management, andendlessly changing technology. In addition, we need to maintain our in-depthlinguistic and subject-specific expertise.The Conference aims at filling in a perceived gap in addressing these issuesfrom the practitioners¹ point of view and in a way that talks directly tothem so that the information and knowledge gained from the sessions willdirectly improve the way they work. It intends to bridge the gap between thedisciplines of technology, business and theory, and translation /interpreting, bringing the still-imagined future into the present alreadysweeping us along. The Conference is also a great opportunity for networking, idea-generating and sharing of knowledge.AUSIT Biennial Conference will also be exciting and useful for thetranslation and interpreting practitioners.With three thematic streams technology, business and theory-as-praxis the Conference organisers are looking for presentations that bring in newideas and diverse ways of looking at the issues and challenges facing theprofessional. Papers can address, but are not limited to, any of thefollowing subjects:* Promoting professionalism* Services marketing* Impact of economics on the profession* Diversification strategies* Legal aspects of the profession (intellectual property, workinginternationally, contractual obligations)* Politics and ethics of translation* Improving productivity (technology and/or business tactics)* Quality enhancement* Impact of technology on the profession* Big Data and translation* Practical applications of translation theory* Cross-cultural communication issues in interpreting/translation* Trans-creation* Globalisation, language and translation* LocalisationAUSIT seeks submissions for:* paper presentations of about 20 minutes duration,* A2 posters* proposals for workshops or panel discussions of 30 60 minutes duration.Interested authors should submit<mailto:papers@ausitconference.org> their250- word abstracts and a short professional biography (including a photo)in English language to the Secretary of the Academic Committee by 25thApril, 2014.Successful applicants will be notified in July 2014.CONTACT DETAILSEnquiries about scientific content of the proposed papers can be sent to theOrganising Committee members Sam Berner<mailto:sberner@ausitconference.org> or SarahDillon <mailto:sdillon@ausitconference.org>Any other general inquiries about the conference can be sent to theSecretary of the Organising Committee<mailto: info@ausitconference.org>
The Invited Symposium on “Urban multilingualism in the European Union: bridging the gap between language policies and language practices” is intended to connect scholars from different disciplines to discuss the relation (or the lack thereof) between language policies and actual language practices across the European Union in different sectors of the public sphere (e.g. education, health, administration). Against a background of increasing migration-related forms of multilingualism in European urban contexts, language policy currently represents a highly topical issue of great societal value. The topics of discussion of the Invited Symposium span numerous research fields, including linguistics, sociolinguistics, education, developmental linguistics, language policy and planning, cognitive linguistics, language acquisition and sociology. The discussion will specifically focus on the interface between language policy, language planning and actual practices in the current panorama of linguistic ‘superdiversity’ of the European Union. In particular, the Invited Symposium will focus on the constraints that current policy instruments impose upon languages practices at national level (e.g. classroom practices), and on the possible changes that might be brought about in order to valorize multilingualism and promote immigrants’ social inclusion and linguistic diversity. Given the lack of an over-arching language policy in the European Union, the Invited Symposium on “Urban Multilingualism in the European Union” will also serve as an arena to: - promote European cooperation in developing language policies. Participants to the Invited Symposium will discuss, compare and exchange best practices in the field of multilingual policies at local, national and transnational level. The existence of heterogeneous practices within the EU will be investigated contrastively, with a view to suggesting common reference models to be followed in different cultural/institutional/educational contexts; - promote new and practice-led methods of language teaching in multilingual schools, with specific reference to classroom practices, tools and linguistic repertoires; - develop international collaborations by means of partnerships and the organization of future workshops, all leading to the enhancement of competence and expertise; - raise awareness of European values and guiding principles, linguistic diversity being a key property of Europe’s identity and one of the founding principles of European integration. Venue The Symposium will take place at the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts (Marble room), Academy Palace, Rue Ducale 1/ Hertogstraat 1 - 1000 Bruxelles. Directions: www.kvab.be/downloads/wegwijzer.pdf, Royal Academy website: http://www.kvab.be/default.aspx?lang=en Registration There is no registration fee, but advanced registration for the Symposium is absolutely required. To register, please send an email to giuditta.caliendo@kvab.be by March 4th 2014. Reception A sandwich lunch will be offered to all participants.

Call for Papers In recent decades, the dramatic development and continual updating of specialist areas has encouraged the implementation of specific codes of expression that make the transfer of specialized knowledge possible. This implies change at various levels: in peer-to-peer scientific discourse that has generally switched to an English-only format; at the terminological level, in the assessment of new concepts, terms and definitions; from the perspective of neology and naming; in the popularization of the discourse of science; in language mediation, where translation plays a key role. Most European countries (in particular those where minority languages with a strong historical and cultural/literary background are spoken), and above all the new EU member states, are developing ambitious projects in order to standardize and harmonize terminology in various fields, above all in the key fields of economy, business, administration, justice, etc. The growing specialization of peer-to-peer communication in fields where English is the dominant language, the accompanying growth of specialized translation, and, on the other hand, the requirement of less specialized communication favouring the popularization of science in both the L1 (English) and L2, all seem to point to a need to assess the state-of-the-art of terminology within national boundaries while recognising a context in which English is dominant. From this perspective, the conference aims to address mainly, but not exclusively, the following issues: - special field terminology: key issues, case studies - terminological innovation as the result of scientific development - key issues in knowledge organization and concept analysis - national languages and terminology policies - attitudes towards language change - neologisms in target languages: problems of standardization - terminology and translation; TM and MT resourcesBeing aware of the fact that national policies on language issues are in no way homogeneous, the organizers are looking forward to diverse papers and lively presentations and discussions. Abstracts (in English) are invited for oral presentations (20 minutes plus 10 minutes discussion). Paper proposals should include the following and be structured as follows: - title - author's name/s and affiliation/s - email address - text body (abstract, max. 300 words) - basic bibliography - short bio-sketch (max. 60 words)The text should be written in Times New Roman 12 pt, single spaced.Please save your paper proposal as "Proposal_TTEC_lastname.doc" and send it in email attachment to: ttec.roma3@gmail.com paola.faini@uniroma3.it Submission deadline: 30 April 2014Notification of acceptance: 30 May 2014Registration deadline: 30 June 2014Post-conference: a selection of papers will be published in the conference proceedings.

The Translator’s Week is a scientific meeting held annually since 1980 and gathers translation scholars, professionals and students with the purpose of fostering the dialogue and exchange of experiences between those dedicated to translation studies. Seeking to expand the dialogue internationally, we will simultaneously hold the 1st International Translation Symposium (SIT), which will bring together translation scholars and professionals from around the world.We welcome presentations on the following research fields:• Translation, Culture, Identity;• Historiography of Translation;• Lexicology and Lexicography;• Terminology and Terminography;• Professional Translation Practice;• Translation, Technologies and Corpora;• Translation Theory and Criticism;• Translation Training;• Translation and Literature.We accept proposals – ongoing or concluded research – as individual presentation. The instructions for submitting the proposals will be announced shortly along with the webpage address of the event.Abstracts may be submitted from March 1 to April 15, 2014 and the acceptance letters will be forwarded by May 31.The official languages of the event are Portuguese, Spanish, English, Italian and French.
'The translator' lies at the heart of much research in translation studies and other disciplines and yet closer inspection reveals 'the translator' to be an intriguingly nebulous concept. This conference invites postgraduate researchers from arts and humanities, social sciences and other fields to revisit and advance work on the figure of the translator and the criteria that contribute to our understanding of the protean persona, focusing on such criteria as competence, credentials and creativity. While we welcome any perspective on the translator, we also hope to showcase a strand of work oncontemporary translators. For example, it might be revealing to explore the impact of technology and Web 2.0 on translators and to expand recent work on non-professional translators (e.g. fan translators, activist translators or natural translators). A conference hosted in Wales may also provide a particularly appropriate setting for the consideration of the translator's role in (re-)constructing contemporary group identities, be it local or global, national, transnational or 'post-national'. Another avenue of inquiry might concern the postmodern perceptions of the fluidity of borders between socio-cultural and artistic entities as well as media, and the resulting perceived overlaps between the figures of 'the translator', the migrant, the author, the artist and other socio-cultural agents. Finally, the discussion might be informed by the current trend to incorporate, broadly speaking, non-Western conceptualizations of translation and 'the translator'. Papers may address questions which include, but are not limited to, the following: Language and translation/interpreting competence Technological competence and subject specialization Translator/interpreter training and the profession Bilingualism, biculturalism, code-switching Non-professional translators/interpreters The translator's credentials and authority The translator and group identity (local, national, global etc.) The translator's identity and visibility The translator's creativity and craft Adaptation and inter-media translation The translator and the artist (writer, musician, film-maker etc.) The translator and the migrant The translator and communicating between fields of knowledge The translator: past and present Please send a 300 word proposal for a 20 minute presentation along with a short biographical note atthe.translator.pg.conference@gmail.com by 31 March 2014. We will notify you of the results by 5 April 2014 (please contact us if you require an earlier response to be able to attend). Please use the same contact address for queries. Please inform us if you would like to deliver a paper in Welsh: every effort will be made to provide simultaneous English interpretation. We would appreciate if you could supply an abstract in English (as well as Welsh if relevant). Organizing committee: Dia Borresly, Lisi Liang, Esther Liu, Sara Orwig, Dorota Goluch The event is kindly supported by the University Graduate College and the European School of Languages, Politics and Translation. Our event coincides in time with another event co-organized by the European School of Languages, Politics and Translation, which might be of interest to our participants: it is the 'Translation in Music' symposium, held on 25-26 May 2014.
