The conference aims to provide a much-needed forum for scholars from the region and across the world, to discuss the pivotal and changing roles of translation in the construction and circulation of knowledge across languages, cultures, and epistemologies in the age of big data, big capital, and conflicting approaches to safeguarding the future of our planet. We invite scholars from all disciplines and areas of inquiry who are interested in translation in all its forms – including but not limited to oral, written, audiovisual, multimodal, inter-linguistic, inter-semiotic and inter-cultural translation, in both conventional and non-conventional contexts – to participate and engage in critical, interdisciplinary discussions that address the multifaceted challenges of sustainability and their implications for translation theory, research, teaching and practice.

UCCTS conference series are meant to bring together researchers who collect, annotate, analyze corpora and/or use them to inform contrastive linguistics and translation theory and/or develop corpus-informed tools (in foreign language teaching, language testing and quality assessment, translation pedagogy, computer-aided/machine translation or other related NLP domains). We invite original submissions that open to various topics within empirical contrastive linguistics and translation studies (see below). We welcome interdisciplinary contributions that combine corpus data with other types of empirical data (e.g. experiment) and allow for an interplay between different methods and data types. Moreover, we encourage contributions applying information and computational technologies including Large Language Models (LLMs).

Young Linguists' Meeting in Poznań (YLMP) is a congress organized by and for young linguists who appreciate the significance of interdisciplinary research and therefore want to go beyond the traditional branches of linguistics. We believe that the connection between linguistics and other fields of study, such as psychology or sociology, is both crucial and pervasive. Our goal is to present the advantages of an integrated approach and emphasize its importance for contemporary linguistic research.

In recent years, the transnational turn, fueled by a critique of globalization that relies on the apparent fluidity of spatial mobility and the supposed efficiency of global interconnection, has drawn attention to the forms of contact and interaction that occur in complex, unstructured, unpredictable and even chaotic contexts, leading to the production and emergence of new forms of culture and identity. This shift has led to the realization that “modern and globalized experiences of (re)attachment, multiple belongings, belonging-at-a-distance, supranational agreements, diaspora cultures, and global cities reveal the limitations of the national optic for characterizing twenty-first century ways of life” (Mattea Cussel, 4). As pointed out by Naoki Sakai, the traditional way of understanding international and intercultural dynamics, which relies on contrasting and juxtaposing spaces, cultures, and languages, is no longer as applicable or relevant in the contemporary world. Additionally, the binary logic used to frame concepts, such as colonized vs. colonizer, migrant vs. host society, North vs. South, mother tongue vs. foreign language, and so on, is also losing relevance. Thus, to fully understand the experiences of culture, language and identity in today’s interconnected world, it is crucial to move away from dichotomies to a more nuanced and complex way of thinking. In this conference, we aim to engage with the concept of contact and its various forms, centering on this shift from international relations to transnational dynamics, and from binary logic to complex and multidimensional thinking.

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.

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.

This event brings together researchers from different scientific areas to generate cross-disciplinary debate on how food shapes our everyday lives at various levels of society and culture. Food practices such as production, consumption, and intangible food culture together form what is the most intricately connective web of human experience. Beginning from the primal need of an individual body while simultaneously demanding inter-reliance and community, we are undeniably in a food-webbed world. Despite this, food-related studies have traditionally been delegated to strictly separate academic spheres, which is why this conference aims to offer an opportunity for truly interdisciplinary dialogue.

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?
