THIRD INTERNATIONAL PHD-COURSE IN TRANSLATION PROCESS RESEARCH (TPR): The course will focus on theoretical aspects of translation process research, on experimental research design and methodology, on data visualization and human translation modeling, and on qualitative and quantitative data analysis. There will also be an opportunity to get hands-on experience with recording eye-tracking sessions and to discuss issues arising in connection with user interaction with language technological tools, particularly the process of post-editing machine translation output. In addition, participants will have the chance to discuss their research with each other and the lecturers. More information can be found at http://bridge.cbs.dk/events/tpr3/index.html INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON SPEECH AND GAZE IN TRANSLATION This workshop focuses on what gaze behaviour says about human translation processes and about input and output methods, including different GUI configurations and written vs. spoken input. New technological possibilities make it relevant to explore different possibilities and look for answers to such questions as: * How can we best analyze and describe the translation processes involved in human-computer interaction? * What can we learn about this human-computer interaction from gaze and key-logging? * How can the results from translation process research be applied to produce better automated translation aids for supporting human translators in their work? * With ever increasing computer performance, which interfaces and input methods provide the best support for translators and post-editors? * How many and which details of the automated translation analysis should be visualized for a translator to be able to produce better translations faster? * How do translators react to the different ways in which these translation aids are presented? * Is there an optimal way of plotting computed translations on the screen or are there different preferences for different types of translators/post-editors? * How could such translator or post-editor types be measured and operationalized?

The rapid shift from a mass media to a digital media culture in the past couple of decades has been the subject of considerable research. One important facet of this shift has been the process of media convergence and the concomitant blurring of boundaries between production and consumption practices in a wide range of contexts, including citizen journalism (news reporting, community radio and television, documentary filmmaking), individual or participatory co-creational work (self-broadcasting, crowdsourcing, fansubbing, scanlation, gaming), networked platforms of public deliberation (blogging, wikis) and other performative expressions of publicness (graffiti and citizen photography). Focusing on the involvement of citizens in this emergent digital culture, this two-day colloquium organised by the Division of Languages and Intercultural Studies aims to bring together researchers and citizen media practitioners from different disciplinary and professional backgrounds with a view to sharing experiences and debating a number of recurrent themes in the field. These include: • interrogating the ‘citizen’ in ‘citizen media’: what senses of ‘citizenship’ are activated in citizen media practices, and with what implications; • the dialectic between citizen media and new technologies: empowering synergy or regulative tension; • strategic vs therapeutic forms of self-mediation: activism, hacktivism, alter-globalism, altruistic humanitarianism and narcisstic exhibitionism; • citizen media and protest movements; • the ethics of witnessing and solidarity; • playful forms of self-mediation (parody, satire); • the threat of co-optation: containing the subversive within existing structures of political and corporate power; • citizen media and the discursive constitution of public selves; • citizen media and the construction of communities; • citizen media and ‘the democratic deficit’; • citizen media practices and piracy. The programme is designed to ensure maximum participation by all attendees, and to allow sufficient time for discussion and exchange of views. There will be no parallel panels, andpresentation slots are therefore limited. Plenary speakers Stuart Allan is Professor of Journalism and Director of the Centre for Journalism and Communication Research at Bournemouth University, UK. He has published widely on the emergence and development of news on the Internet, the online reporting of war, conflict and crisis, science journalism, and citizen journalism. His most recent book, Citizen Witnessing: Revisioning Journalism in Times of Crisis, was published by Polity in January 2013. Bolette Blaagaard is Assistant Professor at Aalborg University, Denmark and former Research Fellow at City University, London, where she was involved in setting up an international network to debate issues of citizenship and journalism, as well as carrying out research on citizen journalism and its implications for journalistic practices and education. She is co-editor of After Cosmopolitanism (Routlege 2012) and Deconstructing Europe (Routledge 2011). Simon Lindgren is Professor of Sociology at Umeå University, Sweden. He researches digital culture with a focus on social connections, social organization and social movements. He is actively taking part in developing theoretical as well as methodological tools for analysing discursive and social network aspects of the evolving new media landscape. His publications cover themes like hacktivism, digital piracy, citizen journalism, subcultural creativity and learning, popular culture and visual politics. Simon is the author of New Noise: A Cultural Sociology of Digital Disruption (2013).

The research group has the pleasure of announcing the International Conference Interpreter-mediated Interactions: Methodologies and models, 7-9 November 2013 at LUSPIO University, Rome, in memory of Professor Miriam Shlesinger. Professor Shlesinger was one of the most prolific scholars in Interpreting Studies. Her work ranged from research on cognitive processes in simultaneous interpreting (particularly on attention and working memory), court interpreting, corpus-based interpreting studies, community interpreting, sign language interpreting, translators and interpreters' self-perceived roles and the teaching of interpreting. One of the last projects she took part in was IVY - Interpreting in Virtual Reality, an EU-funded project that explored the applicability of 3-D virtual reality technology to the teaching of interpreting. Professor Shlesinger was forever forward-looking, promoting research activities internationally. Her opus stands as a model to interpreting scholars the world over. When she prematurely passed away, the newly-constituted LARIM research group decided to organise its first conference in her memory. The first LARIM conference attempts to go beyond the well-known dichotomies that have emerged over the years in Interpreting Studies (prescriptive vs. descriptive models, qualitative vs. quantitative, process vs. product), to refine existing models and increase our knowledge of situated socio-cultural practices. The conference aims to provide a forum for discussing interdisciplinary approaches to research on interpreter-mediated interactions. We particularly welcome abstracts that address the following topics: 1) approaches exploring interpreting as a dialogic and interactional process; 2) methodological questions related to fieldwork, data collection and selection, corpus building and classification; 3) professional and ethical implications of the analysis of translational processes and situated practices. Contributions based on authentic data collected in a variety of contexts (conference, court, healthcare, pedagogical, inter alia) are sought from analysts who adopt varied tools and approaches including, but not restricted to, the following: - Conversation Analysis- Critical Discourse Analysis- Corpus-based studies- Sociological approaches- Pragmatic approaches Key datesProposals for 20-minute papers should be submitted to larim@luspio.it by 15 April 2013.The Scientific Committee will evaluate submissions and reply by 15 May 2013.For further details, please visit www.luspio.it Abstract submission guidelinesAbstracts of approximately 300 words should be sent as doc, .docx (MS Word 2003 or 2007) or .txt files. They should be structured as follows:1. Presenter's name and affiliation2. Short bio3. Title4. 4-5 keywords5. Research area and focus6. Research methodology and objectives7. Brief summary8. Short key bibliographyPlease note that points 1, 2, and 8 are not included in the word count. Conference languagesThe official languages of the conference are English and Italian. Simultaneous interpreting (English > Italian; Italian > English) will be offered by FIT volunteer student interpreters.
