TRANSLATION AND INTERPRETING
CONVERGENCE, CONTACT, INTERACTION
TRIESTE, 26-28 MAY 2016
The Department of Law, Language,
Interpreting and Translation Studies of the University of Trieste is
pleased to announce the International Conference on Translation and Interpreting: Convergence, Contact, Interaction.
The Conference will be held at the University of Trieste on 26-28 May 2016.
The Conference will be held at the University of Trieste on 26-28 May 2016.
Translation
and interpreting scholars often attend different conferences or
different sessions within the same conference. Opportunities for contact
and comparison between specialists in the two disciplines are therefore
lacking, even though such specialists would have a great deal to
discuss in terms of research, teaching and professional practice.
A
glance at the current state of the profession reveals a varied scenario
in which Translation and Interpreting often constitute two interlingual
processes performed by the same person in the same communicative
situation or in different situations within the same set of relations
and contacts, at times inextricably linked to other competences and
other knowledge, though often seen as a single entity in the eyes of the
public at large.
Translation
and Interpreting can thus be found in relations of overlap, hybridity
and contiguity, and effected variously in professional practices,
strategies and translation processes.
Considering the day-to-day situation of Translation and Interpreting and abandoning – as with the concept of Translationswissenschaft –
the traditional standpoint of separation and contrast, the idea of the
Trieste Conference is to create a common space for reflection based on
the topic, the area, the subject or the discipline in which Translation
and Interpreting are both enacted as a service to society.
Translation
and Interpreting are therefore presented as a binomial (T&I)
inviting experts from both disciplines to meet and propose contributions
which in themselves will create a comparison between these two
different yet closely connected practices on topics including:
T&I in law
T&I in economics
T&I in politics
T&I in medicine
T&I in sport
T&I in tourism
T&I in science and technology
T&I in entertainment, art and culture
…
In
particular, the conference wishes to encourage reflection on the
various themes listed above, and will explore issues including, but not
limited to, the following topics: required knowledge and competence,
quality, linguistic, cognitive and ethical aspects, language
combinations and directionality, theoretical approaches, research
methodologies, professional practice and associated constraints, the
status and prestige of professionals, the use of information technology,
training, …
The
official languages of the conference are English and Italian.
Presentations in other languages cannot be guaranteed and require
approval from the organisers.
The time allotted to each presentation will be 20 minutes.
