Recent perspectives that challenge anthropocentric worldviews similarly call for rethinking paradigms in translation studies that privilege human meaning-making over other modes of existence. These perspectives expand understandings of translation by shifting attention away from the anthropocentric circulation of meaning and situating translation within broader interspecies interactions. In this context, reexamining established assumptions about translation requires conceptualizing translational activity as embedded in the multilayered relations among human and nonhuman beings, knowledge systems, social practices, and technological instruments. The notion of "beyond human translation" thus offers a productive horizon for theoretical and applied inquiry, fostering new forms of problematization and encouraging interdisciplinary engagement.

Following its first edition in 2022 and second in 2024 at Bolu Abant İzzet Baysal University, the third International Congress on Academic Translation and Interpreting Studies (ICASTIS) will be hosted by Marmara University in Istanbul from 30 September to 2 October 2026. Against this backdrop, the congress will focus on the “human translator,” a figure who has, throughout history, assumed multiple roles as cultural ambassador, communication specialist, intermediary, guide, and social planner, not only within digitalized settings and contexts but across all areas of translation. Rather than positioning “human” and “artificial intelligence” as opposing poles, ICASTIS 2026 adopts a descriptive perspective aimed at identifying key issues and proposing solutions.

Deadline: April 15, 2026.

Tourism studies have gained renewed significance in recent years, not only because tourism remains a crucial economic and cultural sector but also because it offers a productive lens through which to examine processes of identity-making, cultural translation, mediation, and heritage communication. Understanding these dynamics requires perspectives that bring together linguistic, historical, and media-oriented approaches. Another area that has gained increasing importance relates to the legal frameworks and national and international regulatory contexts governing tourism and heritage communication, as well as their implications for research practices, cultural mediation, and cross-border circulation.
