    Instytut Lingwistyki Stosowanej

    Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego

    zaprasza do wzięcia udziału w V konferencji z cyklu Imago mundi

    pod tytułem

    Teoria tłumaczenia czy teorie tłumaczeń?

    która odbędzie się w dniach 20-21 listopada 2015 w Warszawie.

     

    Tłumaczenie jest jedną z najbardziej dynamicznie rozwijających się form działalności ludzkiej. Tłumaczymy literaturę piękną i naukową, filmy, gry komputerowe, strony internetowe, dokumenty prawne, specyfikacje techniczne itd. Czy te różne rodzaje tłumaczenia mają jakiś wspólny mianownik? Czy istnieją problemy wspólne dla różnych typów tłumaczeń?

    Na kolejną konferencję z cyklu Imago mundi zapraszamy tłumaczy i przekładoznawców zajmujących się różnymi formami tłumaczeń i interesujących się różnymi zagadnieniami przekładoznawczymi. Chcemy wspólnie zastanowić się, czy może istnieć jedna teoria tłumaczenia, czy też każdy rodzaj tłumaczeń potrzebuje innych założeń teoretycznych.

     

    Swój udział w sesji plenarnej potwierdzili m.in. prof. Roman Lewicki (UMCS) oraz prof. Jerzy Brzozowski (UJ).

     

    W trakcie konferencji przewidziana jest ponadto dyskusja panelowa, która będzie poświęcona głównemu tematowi – wezmą w niej udział tłumacze praktycy, zarówno literatury pięknej, jak i tekstów specjalistycznych.

     

    Językiem roboczym konferencji będzie język polski, choć w przypadku zainteresowania uczestników z ośrodków zagranicznych jesteśmy w stanie zapewnić tłumaczenie wystąpienia w języku angielskim, francuskim, hiszpańskim, niemieckim, rosyjskim.

    CALL FOR PAPERS

    Since translation established itself as a profession and an academic discipline, translation assessment has evolved and become more complex due to the fast and significant changes affecting the industry and the emergence of new approaches to quality in translation training (Drugan, 2013: 185; Saldanha and O'Brien, 2014: 95). Research into assessment in translation has tended to focus on literary translation, but ‘this field of research includes two other areas, each with its own characteristics: assessment of professionals at work and assessment of trainee translators’ (Melis and Hurtado Albir, 2001: 272). These two areas of research reflect the dichotomy between the professional conceptualisation of assessment criteria and those of the specialised translation courses in universities. It is these two areas of assessment that this conference wishes to focus on.

    Investigating in what ways universities assess trainee translators can reveal the underlying understandings of what translation is, what skills or competences are needed and should be tested. Assessment in professional contexts also seeks reliable and valid criteria but their focus has been on the processes for ensuring quality rather than elaborating the nature of the quality. The professional conceptions of quality assume an understanding of what is good, but the academic approach is to ‘problematize’ the notion of quality and how it is assessed (Chesterman, 2002:88). This difference in approach is seen as a gap between academic theorising and the real world pragmatics of professional assessment.

    Rather than dismissing the professional assessment criteria as under theorised, some advocate these criteria can inform the way that translation is understood and taught in the universities. The advent of a new global ISO translation specific quality standard could provide the opportunity for both professional and academic understandings of translation to interact, reducing the gap that exists at present.

    The conference hopes to reflect these key themes in translation assessment. In particularly, but not exclusively, we welcome papers on the following topics:

    · Bridging the gap between pedagogy and the profession: is this dichotomy necessary or should it be overcome?

    · New perspectives in assessment practices and instruments in translation training curricula

    · Translation quality assessment models and instruments for research purposes

    · Diagnostic, summative and formative assessment: strategies, criteria and procedures   for effective assessment

    · Process-oriented assessment models: diagnosing learning difficulties during the learning process

    · Product-oriented assessment models: readability, comprehensibility, acceptability and usability

    · Defining and testing translation competence to shape clear assessment criteria

    Keynote speaker:

    Professor Dorothy Kelly, University of Granada

    Deadline for abstract submission: 16th March 2015

    Notification of acceptance: end of April 2015
