Within the last couple of decades, an increased interest in
audiovisual translation (AVT) within the scope of translation studies
and intercultural communication in Europe can be observed. An escalating
need to reflect this specific type of translation communication has
emerged from various cultural, social, geopolitical and technological
changes which have taken place at both a global and local level. Because
of the impact of these changes, approaches and views on media and
translation practice are being modified and the demands of the
translation market are becoming more salient. This influences reflection
upon AVT, stimulates the emergence of new interdisciplinary approaches
and defines more particular requirements in translation training.
Audiovisual translation has also attracted the attention of the European
Union, mainly in relation to its efforts to make the individual
cultures of member states available to all EU citizens. Due to economic
and technological pressures the quality of AVT has become a topical
issue in the last decade as well.
Aiming to map the situation in AVT practices in the central European
context, the goal of the conference is to provide an opportunity for
scholars and practitioners in AVT and related areas to present their
approaches, research and experience. The ambition of the organisers is
to initiate a discussion on the specifics of theory, criticism,
translation training and AVT practice in the defined cultural and
geographical area – with respect to its translation tradition, language
and cultural context as well as the demands of the translation market.
The conference will provide a platform for presentations and discussion focusing mainly at the following topics:
(history and development of AVT, theoretical approaches,
translation competence and specialised training, specifics of
translation practice)
(new approaches and technologies in AVT, quality standards, fansubbing and fan dubbing )
(AVT modalities, ideology in translation, meaning manipulation, censorship)
(pluricentric versions in AVT, bilingual subtitling, language diversity)
(subtitling for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, artistic
interpretation into sign language, audiodescription, target audience
reception)
(translation from/into languages of limited diffusion, market
requirements, working conditions, legal aspects, intellectual property,
translator status)
The conference will take place at Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, from 15 to 17 June 2016.
Applicants interested in participating are
kindly asked to send a 250-300 word proposal for their paper together
with a short bionote and name of their affiliate organisation by 15
March 2016 to: avtnitraconference@gmail.com
