The Creative Literary Studio is a place 'of' and 'for' textual creations. Here. we want to explore the act of writing and rewriting, and discover new experimental ways of text making, including translations, adaptations, revisitations. We are pleased to announce our second theme on translation and the art of text making: 'The Translation of Hispanic and South American writers'. What does it mean to engage with and translate such a diverse literature? The Studio strongly invites anybody to join this Latin American journey. If you translate and/or are interested in Spanish, Central and South American literarture in current times, do share with us your ideas and what it means to translate these literarues. Also to explore new perspectives in translating this kind of texts and push the boundaries, we invite you to try out a creative approach. You can post your own experimental translations (and also non-experimental) of Hispanic and Brazilian writers to thecreativeliterarystudio@gmail.com To know more visit http://thecreativeliterarystudio.wordpress.com

This conference offers a forum for the joint discussion of the concepts of voice and indirect translation. Voice is a frequently used concept since Schiavi and Hermans used it to study translation in terms of the presence of the translator’s voice in both text and paratext (Target 8:1. 1996). Indirect translation is defined as “based on a source (or sources) which is itself a translation into a language other than the language of the original, or the target language” (Kittel and Frank eds. 1991. Interculturality and the Historical Study of Literary Translations. Berlin: Erich Schmidt.3.). Research on indirect translation and voice has focused mainly on interpreting (relay interpreting) and literary translation. However, indirect translation is a phenomenon verifiable in other areas such as scientific, technical and audiovisual translation, always involving the negotiation of a plurality of voices, be they textual, paratextual or contextual. We invite proposals for 20-minute papers offering case studies various text types, language pairs and translation directions as well as theoretical, methodological and terminological oriented studies. Suggested topics include but are not restricted to: Mapping intercultural transfers The analysis of voice(s) in (in)direct translation Indirectness in interpreting, literary, technical, scientific and audiovisual translation The role of agents, their choices, and interventions The consecration of languages, cultures, genres, authors Profiling a (trans)national literature (in periodicals, volumes, film, radio, TV) Presenting a (trans)national literature (in prefaces, collections, anthologies national historiography, literary historiography) Theoretical, methodological and terminological issues in researching indirect translation Keynote Speakers Lieven D’hulst, KU Leuven, Belgium Cecilia Alvstad, University of Oslo, Norway Organization Research Group on Translation and Reception Studies, University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies, ULICES, Portugal Partners International Research Group “Voice in Translation”, University of Oslo, Norway Sponsors Faculty of Letters, University of Lisbon - FLUL, Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia - FCT Organizing Committee Alexandra Assis Rosa (Coordinator), Catarina Xavier, Hanna Pięta, Rita Bueno Maia, Zsófia Gombár Scientific Committee Alexandra Assis Rosa (Coordinator), Cecilia Alvstad, João de Almeida Flor, Karen Bennett, Lieven D’hulst, Rita Bueno Maia, Rita Queiroz de Barros Conference Languages Papers may be presented in English, and Portuguese.

Translations Studies, which is being institutionalised in a number of universities across the world, is still being questioned in many ways, notably by practitioners, as to its practical usefulness and relevance. According to many TS scholars, the question arises most clearly in connection with translation and interpreting didactics. The Conference endeavours to examine this issue in a critical light. The German saying that « Nichts ist praktischer als seine gute Theorie » (nothing is more practical than a good theory) may eventually prove true when we analyse concrete facts in the province of translation and interpreting.In which ways do TS help translation and interpreting didactics, be it theoretically or empirically ? What is the opinion of translators' and interpreters' trainers ? What do students themselves think about the problem ? Do they find in theory elements that can guide them in a useful manner in the training process ? Which are these elements ? How does the relevance reveal itself concretely ? Or does theory reveal shortcomings that eventually limit its application ? Do the efforts prove worthwhile considering the time and energy necessary to theory acquisition ?November 22 will be the prelude of a larger Conference that will take place in 2014-2015 on the same theme. Rather than only general discourse, it encourages the presentation of personal experience both from teachers and (PhD) students, an experience that will pave the way for larger investigations or other empirical research. Dialogue between teachers, practitioners and students will be encouraged.For this first Conference, we call for presentations and posters on the subject « the place of theory and research in translation and interpretation didactics ». Reflection based on personal experience both from teachers and (PhD) students, investigation results, other types of empirical research in French or in English are welcome. Please send an abstract highlighting the relevance to the Conference theme to Nadia D'Amelio (nadia.damelio@umons.ac.be) by June 30.Nadia D'AmelioChef du service de traductologie FTI-Eii, UMONS
Following the debates on the several modes in which identity is construed through language, the Conference will prompt a reflection on the relationship between language and ethnic and cultural identity (drawing on ongoing research, for instance, on buzz-words and expressions such as ‘colored’, ‘Negro’, ‘black’, ‘Afro-American’, 'African American’); on the relationship between language and gender and/or sexual identity (drawing on studies on the stereotypes conveyed by the use of terms like ‘fag’, ‘queen’, ‘queer’, ‘dyke’, ‘butch’ and all attempts at linguistic sanitization); and, on any form of language diversification arising from contamination/hybridization/migration of genre(s), discourse(s) and texttypologies (such as changing forms and formats between spoken and written English, specialized discourse vs. popularized discourse, and so forth). We invite submissions for abstracts for 20-minute presentations in any field related to the following macro-areas and methodological approaches that are to be understood as a general guideline and can be further extended: - Critical Discourse Analysis - Linguistic and cultural mediation - Translation perspectives - EFL, ESL, ELF, ESP and Corpus Linguistics - Language crossing, switching, and mixing - Language variation and language change - Multimodal, digital and audio-visual discourse(s) - Contrastive Pragmatics Conference description: 10-12 October 2013, University of Naples L’Orientale (Italy). Plenary speakers will be announced soon. Call deadline: abstracts (250-350 words) should be submitted by 30 June 2013. Notification of acceptance by 30 July 2013. After a review process, notification of abstract review decision together with oral/poster presentation guidelines and Conference details will be emailed within two weeks of submission. The Conference will be followed by publication, so a call will be sent out for submission of papers and final versions of contributions should be handed in by December 2013.
The translation of crime fiction is all around us, from the current wave of Scandinavian and European crime novels, film and television to recent screen adaptations of classic crime fiction such as Sherlock Holmes. But it’s not only in fiction that translation meets crime. The police and the courts rely heavily on public service interpreters and translators. Translation itself is criminalised in various ways, e.g. in relation to copyright infringement, legal proceedings against translators of ‘problematic’ texts and various forms of piracy. The 2013 Portsmouth Translation Conference aims to bring the different facets of translation and crime together in an interdisciplinary one-day conference, allowing exchange of ideas between translators, criminologists, interpreters, literary scholars and translation researchers. We invite proposals for 20-minute papers and 60-minute practical workshops on any area connecting crime and translation or interpreting. We welcome approaches from practitioners as well as researchers. Topics may include (but are not limited to): The challenges of translating crime fiction Subtitling and dubbing thrillers Crime, translation and the law ‘True crime’ in translation The role of translation and interpreting in criminal justice Translation by and for criminals Translation as a crime Translation and forensic linguistics The representation of translation and interpreting in crime fiction and film Enquiries and/or 300-word abstracts should be sent to translation@port.ac.uk by 15 June 2013

This conference aims to contribute to the intense and diverse interest that translation, both as practice and concept, has obtained across the humanities and social sciences over the past three decades. It will acknowledge and celebrate the rise of Translation Studies (TS) to its current disciplinary salience – but it will also interrogate the challenges posed by the discipline's quasiindefinite extension of its academic franchise. The conference will lay a predominant, though notexclusive emphasis on literary translation, which will also foreground the connections between the disciplinary growth of TS and key contemporary developments in literary studies. This will involve a particular focus on the role played by notions of the canon, its boundaries and its outlands in the conformations taken by literary criticism since the final quarter of the twentieth century.The organisers will welcome proposals for 20-minute papers in English reflecting the concerns delineated above. Suggested (merely indicative) topics include:• translation and the literary canon: enablement and contestation• translation and text types: discriminations, hierarchies• translation and discourse(s): science vs the humanities• translation and the arts: rhetoric and aesthetics• translation and academic power: institutional and scholarly dynamics• key concepts in Translation Studies: the fortunes of `manipulation', `refraction', `norms',...• translation and literary criticism: mutualities and discontinuitiesSubmissions should be sent by email to version@letras.up.pt. Please include the following information with your proposal:• the full title of your paper;• a 250-300 word description of your paper;• your name, postal address and e-mail address;• your institutional affiliation and position;• a short bionote;• AV requirements (if any)For questions, please contact Teresa Caneda at tcaneda@uvigo.es
