    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.

    Deadline: 25.09.2024

    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.

    Deadline: 01.10.2024.

    As in the first edition, the aim is to discuss and explore the criteria that should guide the representation of the system of concepts behind the terminology of a domain. As the name of the conference indicates, we aim to contrast on one hand the traditional approach of setting up a concept system or ontology, which represents terms as nodes and relationships as arrows between them, and on the other hand frames, which take the relationships as the basis for the structure of events in the domain.

    Call Deadline: 16th of April 2024 - Extended deadline for submission.

    Since its origins as comic strips in the American press at the tail end of the 19th century, comics have been a global cultural phenomenon, meaning that its artistic and industrial production is deeply informed by its circulation from country to country, continent to continent (Gociol & Gutiérrez, 2012) and, also, from one medium to another. This is more true today than ever, as evidenced in bookstores around the world: Spanish superheroes, Latin American graphic novels created to be sold in the French market, mangaesque stories of homosexual love adapted to German tastes.

    Proposals for the International Symposium should include a title and abstract (max. 300 words plus bibliography) and a short author biography (max. 100 words). until May 15th. Contributions can be submitted in Spanish or English and should be sent to diego.labra@uni-hamburg.de. As the selected contributions will be compiled into a collective volume to be published this year, accepted presentations should send the full paper by July 17th.

    TIC 2023 as the third event in the series wishes to provide a platform for (trans/post)disciplinary discussions of translation and interpreting as both tools and critical and activist practices that shape global and local contemporaneity in an age of digital colonisation.

    ...

    TIC 2023 wishes to make the growing social, economic, and ideological differences accompanied and facilitated by the ways information travel the basis for event’s critical and academic discussions. We will welcome papers addressing any aspects of translation and interpreting in an age when such matters as algorithm awareness divide or the inability of digital assistants to account for diverse accents are not issues solely reserved for investigation in specialised fields, but are part of our everyday experience.

    Major themes:

    • Translation and interpreting building borders and bridges
    • Virality – opportunity and challenge for translating and interpreting world
    • Access and inclusion – communication designs for all
    • Creativity in human-machine cooperation in the context of current developments in technologies, experimental literature, and translation and interpreting
    • Negotiating translation/interpreting zones
    • Activism and manipulation: towards objective methods for knowledge-based action in TIS
    • Political motivation for setting initial norm in translation/interpreting projects
    • Language hostility and hospitality as a decisive factor in integration of refugees in new societies
    • Social representation theory as a tool for measuring translators’ status and public image
    • Translators’ and interpreters’ visibility and social responsibility
    • Isolation and remoteness – future for a new generation of translators and interpreters?
    • Historical justice in narrating translation histories
    • Generational and technological turn in TIS

    With the coming of the MT Summit XIX, the 19th Machine Translation Summit, held from September 4 to 8, 2023, we are pleased to announce that we are putting out a call for papers and presentations, as well as for proposals for workshops and tutorials.

    COVID-19 has forced many international conferences to go fully online, and this was no different for the previous MT Summit. This time, however, we’re looking to provide both real opportunities for face-to-face discussions and for encounters that take place online.

    The conference will take place in the convention center located on the Cotai Strip, which is at the heart of modern Macao’s accommodation, event, and entertainment offerings. We will also continue to monitor the pandemic situation closely to ensure the safety of participants, and, if necessary, will convert to a completely virtual format.

    The MT Summit XIX is organized by the Asia-Pacific Association for Machine Translation. This biennial MT Summit brings together the Asian-Pacific (AAMT), American (AMTA), and European (EAMT) branches of the International Association for Machine Translation (IAMT), creating an invaluable opportunity to discuss the issues of the day with a truly global gathering of all the stakeholders of machine translation. This includes researchers of MT and translation, developers, providers, translators, and general users. For researchers, MT Summit XIX provides a unique context in which to share their latest results with colleagues, as well as an opportunity to understand real-world user requirements. MT providers, translators, and general users in both business and government settings will benefit from updates on leading-edge R&D in Machine Translation and have a chance to present and discuss their own use cases. In all of these contexts, we strongly encourage and hope that students will also make submissions and participate.

    This symposium will be devoted to explorations of the concept of labour arising from Translab’s
    hallmark blending of ‘translation’ and ‘collaboration’. It posits that the concept of labour, as distinct from ‘work’ (Arendt 1958/1998; Narotzky 2018), warrants more sustained engagement on the part of both Translation Studies and the translation profession. While digital labour (Fuchs 2020), playbor (Kücklich 2005), fan labour (De Kosnik 2012), affective labour (Hardt 1999; Koskinen 2020), emotional labour (Hochschild 1993), or (im)material labour (Negri & Hardt 2004) may present themselves as particularly topical sites for such exploration, both labour and work are also important yet largely underarticulated dimensions in discussions about translation in a professional context and in debates about the distinction between professional and non-professional translation. Last but not least, we are keen to extend consideration of the labour concept to translation as such, and to
    interrogate its relevance to current debates about the translation concept.

    To explore translation from the vantage point of labour and work, we invite paper proposals addressing the labour of translation and interpreting in both theory and practice, and in, among others, the following contexts, either separately or jointly where these overlap:

    • translation and interpreting as labour, work, and action
    • flows of translational capital and value accumulation in professional and non-professional contexts
    • translation and interpreting as digital labour
    • translation and interpreting as (im)material labour
    • translation and interpreting as fan labour
    • translation and interpreting as affective labour and/or emotional labour
    • narratives of translational labour/work and their effect(s) on the interests and status of translators and other stakeholders

    Universidade Católica Portuguesa will host the international conference "Translation and the News: state of the art, dialogues, reflections".

    The fundamental aim of the event is to enquire into the various intersections that can arise from putting journalism and translation studies in dialogue, thus contributing to the development of a subarea of both translation and journalism studies which has still room to explore. Journalistic translation opens up new research avenues concerning both news and translation. However, while translation studies’ scholars have initiated a discussion around translation practices in the news, journalism studies have not yet addressed the relevance of translation as a key practice in news writing.

    The 16th Annual Global Partners in Education Conference will be hosted by East Carolina University (ECU) in Greenville, NC, USA from May 22 – 24, 2023. This will be our first in-person conference in three years. We invite instructors, technical support personnel, students, and administrators from GPE partner institutions around the world to join us at ECU for this important knowledge sharing and networking event. Some sessions will be streamed and recorded for those who cannot attend in person.

    Aligning with GPE’s mission to prepare students with the skills, knowledge, and adaptability to thrive in an interconnected world, the theme of this year’s conference is “Intercultural Communication: Preparing Students for an Interconnected World.” Intercultural communication is essential for student success. Regardless of whether they stay in their hometown after graduation, move to a bigger city, or choose to live abroad, it is inevitable that students in today’s world will work, live, and play with culturally diverse others. Good intercultural communication is also extraordinarily important for those working in GPE programming. It has always been our philosophy that the majority of challenges faced in our programming can be resolved with good communication.

    Throughout the conference we will explore how to build intercultural communication competency both amongst ourselves and our students. It will also be an opportunity to discuss ways to improve existing programming and develop/introduce ideas for new programming and initiatives. Participants will be given the opportunity to share their research and best practices and will have ample time to network with fellow participants to help further international efforts on their home campuses.

    The International Communication Styles conference is the fifth in the series of biannual conferences which were initiated in 2013 and took place four times in Krosno, Poland (see the first conference opening speech by Geert Hofstede). This time, after a pandemic break, we would like to invite international scholars to the city of Krakow, Poland.

    We welcome papers related to all aspects of communication styles, broadly understood as clusters of features of verbal and nonverbal language that run the spectrum of discourses, genres and media and mark social and cultural differences. The 5th ICS Conference brings into focus the theme of communication in times of permacrisis, recently named the Collins Word of the Year 2022 and understood as “an extended period of instability and insecurity”. It aims to examine the diverse effects of social, political, economic, and cultural conflicts in public and private communication across cultures and genres.

    The conference is a continuation of the well-established Translation in Transition series that serves as a meeting point for scholars conducting research in translation based on an empirical methodological paradigm. With the previous conferences in mind, held in Copenhagen, Germersheim, Ghent, Barcelona and Kent (Ohio), the Prague edition wants to put special emphasis on three main directions: we would like to draw on the vast resources of the Czech National Corpus (including InterCorp, a large multilingual parallel corpus), and concentrate on the methodological interplay between translation studies and contrastive linguistics. At the same time, prominence will be given to machine translation, as Prague is one of its international centres.

    EST congresses are a unique opportunity to bring together numerous specialists in very diverse areas of Translation Studies, providing interdisciplinary gatherings that encourage advancements in the field when common grounds are discussed, areas of study are crossed, and professional practices are debated. In these times characterized by different degrees of confinement and isolation but also by critical global challenges on worldwide communications, both human and machine, in professional and in everyday life, we want to emphasize the need for fruitful encounters that allow us to continue advancing in our field towards the future. Translation is always involved in overcoming the challenges of global communication and defying isolation, and this is why we would like to embrace advancement as a common and diverse space of collaboration among disciplines while crossing theoretical approaches and enhancing professional practices.
    Recent and ongoing global crises require special attention and new directions in many interdisciplinary areas at the crossroads of Translation and Interpreting Studies, such as ecology of translation; challenges on multiculturality; migration fluxes; intercultural mediations; gender and racial awareness in translation practices; new horizons for machine translation; emotional & cognitive aspects; identity perspectives; imagological approaches; audiovisual translation techniques; multimodal settings; corpus linguistics projects; remote interpreting tools and their uses; new methods of translation & interpreting training; sign language interpreting strategies; non-professional translation & interpreting environments; diversity of local and global communities; ethical and other dilemmas are only a few examples of where progress can be made when Translation and Interpreting Studies meet critical areas of human interest.
    As in earlier EST congresses, the 10th EST Congress will mainly be organized around thematic panels. We welcome proposals for papers related to the general conference theme. Papers can adopt various (inter)disciplinary, methodological, conceptual, professional, historical or geographical approaches relating to the concept or experience of the conference theme Advancing Translation Studies. The descriptions of the panels can be found on the congress website (hf.uio.no/est). Please consider submitting your abstract to a panel when there is a thematic relation to what you wish to present.

    TRANSLATA IV is the fourth in a series of triennial conferences on Translation and Interpreting Studies at the University of Innsbruck. This conference series was established in 2011 and, from the outset, has always been one of the largest conferences on Translation and Interpreting Studies worldwide. TRANSLATA is a conference devoted to basic research in translatology with the principle aim of re-establishing translation proper (= professional translation and interpreting) as the core focus of Translation and Interpreting Studies. TRANSLATA IV is dedicated to its founding father Professor Emeritus Lew N. Zybatow, who celebrated his 70th birthday in 2021.

    The theme of TRANSLATA IV should reflect our interest in the rapid developments in the era of digitalisation that have changed the practice of translation for a number of years now. These changes also give rise to the question of how the field of Translation and Interpreting Studies can and should react to these developments. Under the main theme of “Future Perspectives in Translation and Interpreting Studies”, TRANSLATA IV provides those concerned with the theoretical, practical, didactical, and commercial aspects of translation with a forum to discuss current questions and problems in the field of translation and the training of translators and interpreters. Thus, fundamental topical questions in theoretical and applied studies of translation related to the following areas of research will be the main focus of this conference.

    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

     Timeline and key dates:

    Deadline for abstract submission: 16th March 2015

    Notification of acceptance: end of April 2015
