Translation in Transition 4

The Translation in Transition 4 conference will be held on 19−20 September 2019 at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. Translation in Transition is a biennial international conference that promotes research in the field of translation studies with an empirical approach. After three successful previous editions at Copenhagen (2013), Germersheim (2015) and Ghent (2017), the Department of Translation and Language Sciences at Pompeu Fabra University is pleased to be the venue for the fourth edition of the conference. The aim is to provide a forum for scientific communication on empirical approaches to translation studies for the international community and to give visibility to the department and its researchers and research projects in this field.

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.

This conference aims to discuss how fear is a pervasive human experience, and as such is widely and diversely represented in various discursive practices, from the political to the literary. We argue that fear seems to be at the heart of both present-day and past forms of anger, an anger that is produced in and by discourse and in and through translation.

Introduction

 
Since the mid 80's, when the cultural turn took place in translation studies, our awareness of the importance of culture for translation and interpreting has to be taken for granted. Since then, translation has been regarded predominantly as a special form of intercultural communication on the basis of language and not only as early translation theories of the 50's and 60's believed, as a mere linguistic operation which focused on the central but rather static aspect of "equivalence". However, in the beginning of the cultural turn, the concept of “culture” (Göhring, 2002) was still regarded from a relativist point of view as being identical with the rather rigid one of “national culture” (Goodenough, 1964). Yet, since the 1990’s, when globalization has started its impact on human life and societies, cultural theorists (e.g. Bhabha, 1999, 2000, Robertson, 1992, Tomlinson, 1999, Beck, 1997) began investigating the multi-perspective nature of cultural evolution and cultural change predominantly in view of globalization and its multidimensional impact on culture in its conventional perception. Key words of post-modern cultural evolution, e.g. homogenization, glocalization, tribalization, hybridization, have since then become eminent. At the same time, translation studies started to investigate and analyze a world that has become more complex, diversified and continuously changing, focusing on issues such as e.g. the establishment of a new age of information, communication and knowledge and the importance of electronic tools for the translator (Austermühl, 2001), the major changes in world economies and their impact on contemporary translation (Cronin, 2003), or the emerging of the localization industry as a new translation domain (Esselink, 2000, O’Hagan/Ashworth, Göpferich, 2002). Nonetheless, cultural evolution as such and its permanent diversifications rarely have been brought into relation with translation and interpreting, although, given its universal presence, cultural evolution must be considered as being of primary importance for translation and interpreting, as it is very likely constantly reflected in the dominant working instruments of the translator and the interpreter, i.e., language and text.

Objective

 
This book will aim to provide relevant theoretical framework and the latest empirical research findings in the area of culture-related translation research in the context of cultural evolution. It will be written for researchers, professionals and trainees who want to improve their understanding of the changes and diversifications that cultural evolution has brought about and is still bringing about, primarily but not exclusively, to language and text as the dominant working instruments of the translators and, consequently, to the translation/interpreting process and product and, finally, to the translator/interpreter as a cultural agent, as well as to culture-orientated translation and interpreting theory. Ultimately, this books hopes to contribute in improving translation and interpreting practice.

Target Audience

 
The target audience of this book will be composed of researchers, professionals and trainees working in the fields of translation studies, interpreting studies, translation and/or interpreting. Moreover, the book will provide insights and support to all other researchers, professionals and trainees concerned with culture and communication, e.g. cultural studies, cultural management, communication science, sociolinguistics, pragmalinguistics.
