The graduate students of the School of Translation at Glendon College, York University, are pleased to announce the Sixth Annual Graduate Student Conference in Translation Studies to be held March 14, 2015 at Glendon College in Toronto, Canada.
Translation and interpretation are everywhere – both inside and outside academia – and are ever-changing. Like Janus, the two-faced Roman god looking simultaneously to the past and to the future, translation and interpretation are always in transition. New technologies, globalization and social media contribute to the changing landscapes of both the discipline and of the profession. The rise of globalized markets, increased technological advancement and the progression of social media are the source of limitless challenges in need of investigation. In the academic sphere, scholars are tasked with exploring progression in the translation of processes, literature, and cultures, from both pragmatic and theoretical perspectives.
This year’s conference will cast light on translation and interpretation, both backwards and forwards in time. We seek to better understand research and professional practices by reflecting on where they have come from, how they are changing, and where they are going. Several general questions will guide our discussions: How are technology and social media influencing translation and interpretation in the profession and in academia? How are points of contact being created between these two areas? How can knowledge of the history of our field map out a future trajectory? What does the future hold for translators and interpreters? Only by bringing together professionals and researchers can the notion of transition be fully explored.
With these ideas in mind, we welcome papers in various topics related to transition in translation and interpretation, including—but not limited to—the following:
- Historical approaches to translation and interpretation as objects of study;
- Knowledge transfer between researchers and professionals;
- The relationship between instrumental translation and literary translation;
- The effect of social media and technologies on academia and industry;
- Changing expectations as we progress from past to future in translation and interpretation;
- The impact of globalization on literary and culture-oriented research;
- The new landscape of professional translation and interpretation: machine translation, crowdsourcing, post-editing and the public pursuit of the bottom dollar;
- Ideology and ethics and the professional market;
- Current and future trends in translation theory and practice; and
- Innovations and new areas of specialization in translation and interpretation.
These and other related issues will be addressed at this one-day trilingual event, which will include a series of individual presentations (20 minutes each) and a panel discussion with scholars from various universities. Interested persons are invited to submit proposals of 250-300 words in English, French or Spanish by November 17, 2014 to conf2015@glendon.yorku.ca.
Please ensure that you include the title of your submission, your name, affiliation and email address. Selected papers will be considered for publication.
