- the interaction of participants in communicative events with dialogue interpreters;

- the interaction of translators with other members of a translation team;

- the interaction of people with translated products,including AV products;

In the 15th and 16th centuries, the linguistic situation in Europe was one of remarkable fluidity. Latin, the great scholarly lingua franca of the medieval period, was beginning to crack as the tectonic plates shifted beneath it, but the vernaculars had not yet crystallized into the national languages that they would become a century later, and bi- or multilingualism was still rife.
This interdisciplinary conference welcomes proposals for 15-20 minute papers on translation and other language-related topics dealing with the period 1400 to 1800. Thematic panel proposals are also welcome (2-hour sessions involving 3-4 speakers).

Verbal and visual paratexts in translation and interpreting studies

A one-day ARTIS workshop

Wednesday 12 September 2018

University of Nottingham, UK

CALL FOR PAPERS

Deadline for receipt of abstracts: 12 June 2018

Broadly understood as the thresholds through which readers and viewers access texts, paratexts have been shown to play a crucial role in the reception and interpretation of texts. While Gérard Genette’s original theorisation of paratexts took place in the context of literary print culture, in recent years the concept has been fruitfully applied to digital contexts and other kinds of texts, notably film, television and video games. The types of paratexts studied in these contexts are many and varied; examples include trailers, game strategy guides, e-reading devices, discussion forums, spoilers and fan-vids. In translation studies, research has tended to focus on the paratexts of printed translation products, such as book covers, translators’ prefaces and translators’ footnotes, but there is considerable scope for applying the concept to research in digital and audiovisual translation studies. The notion of the paratext is also potentially relevant to research into interpreting, where it might be used to investigate prosodic variation, body language, or other framing devices.

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.
