The conference is concerned with the problem of translation in general, both with literary and professional translation. The title suggests a wide perspective of the translation horizon which allows to create a communication platform for theorists and practitioners of specific types of translation. The conference will be held in English, German and Polish language in a plenary session and in sections (literary studies, linguistics, specialized languages).
Die Konferenz richtet sich an alle Interessierten am Problem der allgemeinen, literarischen und Fachübersetzung. Der Titel der Konferenz verweist auf eine universelle Auffassung des Problems der Übersetzung, was die Erschaffung einer Plattform für die Verständigung und Erfahrungsaustausch sowohl für die Theoretiker, als auch für die Praktiker der Übersetzungswissenschaft ermöglicht. Die Konferenz erfolgt in Plenarform sowie in Sektionen (Literaturwissenschaft, Sprachwissenschaft, Fachsprachen). Die Konferenzsprachen sind Englisch, Deutsch und Polnisch.
