The impact of generative AI technologies such as ChatGPT is rapidly changing the frameworks of reference for the education and training of future language experts and translators. As a result, the role of language education has been greatly enhanced and simultaneously challenged. The broad availability of easily accessible AI-based resources has been changing the way language learning and translation are understood and practised today by students and teachers alike. By bringing together experts in AI, digital education, language teaching, and translation studies, as well as professional translators and publishers, this conference will offer an opportunity to reflect upon the challenges and possibilities that the AI revolution offers, and to steer future research towards a more integrated approach to digital literacy, language education, and translation training.

Deadline for Abstract Submission: November 1, 2024.

A writer's translating practice can fuel his or her work in surprising and stunning ways, and some contemporary poets and novelists have chosen to translate and embed fragments written by others into their own writing. These segments frame sometimes a collection of poems, sometimes a prose chapter. Depending on where they are placed, they provide an added conclusion, some kind of closure, a twist, or, as epigraphs, they serve as springboards to what follows. However, they may also be encased – or even showcased – within a new matrix. This literary practice is sometimes so deliberate on the part of an author that it constitutes a form of translational-creative writing of its own, a form of literary experimentation.

The participants' presentations will be published in the journal Prevodilac after a blind peer review process.

Deadline: 15.10.2024

The conference addresses the question of how translation participates in the construction and undoing of differences in the social world and how it sorts people into categories. Which categories become relevant in which situation and field (politics, science, law, religion, art etc.)? And how do they interact? Moreover: which categories and distinctions are inscribed in concepts and theories of translation? Which ‘centrisms’ (e.g. eurocentrism, anthropocentrism) or ‘biases’ can be identified?

Submission deadline: June 30, 2024.

Wherever you are, East or West, you will be able to join our conference and enjoy a diverse range of presentations. It will bring together Shakespeare scholars, translation studies scholars, theologians, theatre practitioners, educators and anyone who loves Shakespeare. By inviting different speakers in the area of Chinese Shakespeare from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, the US and the UK to speak on the translatability of theatrical productions of Shakespeare in China in different periods – it is hoped that meaningful discussions will come about on differing translatability issues and socio- political factors underlying these translations at different points in time. This conference will represent the first of its kind that can stimulate thought-provoking discussions regarding the range of problems and opportunities arising from both the original texts and the target languages and cultures which combine to make Shakespeare translation the rich field that it is today.

The congress aims to bring together distinguished scholars and researchers studying linguistics, translation studies, SLA, culture studies, and foreign language teaching. Its objective is to review the theories and research techniques in these fields, address contemporary issues, evaluate past and present critically, and make suggestions for the future. We intend for the congress to pave the way for new perspectives and directions, creating a dynamic online platform for discussions that transcend binary oppositions between the past and the present, the old and the new, and the traditional and the modern.
