Publish before a global audience. Present in a supportive environment. Network and create new relationships. Hear the latest research. Experience Japan. Join a global academic community.


This international and interdisciplinary conference will again bring together a range of academics and practitioners to discuss new directions of research and discovery in education. As with IAFOR’s other events, ACCS2016 will afford the opportunity for renewing old acquaintances, making new contacts, and networking across higher education and beyond.


The Asian Conference on Cultural Studies will be held alongside The Asian Conference on Asian Studies and The International Conference on Japan and Japan Studies. Registration for one of these conferences will allow attendees to attend sessions in the others.

ACCS2016 Conference Theme: “Cultural Struggle and Praxis: Negotiating Power and the Everyday”

In this conference participants are invited to explore and question the ways in which cultural struggle characterises our present times. Given that culture is the fabric of meaning making, understanding its relationship to politics and society is crucial. Cultural struggle, for instance, alerts us to the political dynamics of how meaning making is controlled, contested and communicated through the core institutions of society such as media, education, law, medicine, government, the family, religion, the market and so on – all of which impact upon and influence everyday life.


Nowhere is the cultural struggle more evident than in questions of belonging, identity and mobility; refuge, exile and community. In the convergence of culture and narrative, the contemporary and historical story of the human condition is particularly marked by how power and the everyday are negotiated through the experience of displacement and dispossession or privilege and status. Culture, expressed, articulated and represented through sites and locales, practices, actions and values, identities and forms, histories and memories, myths and traditions, is a pivotal lens through which we are able to understand and interpret the way society works, and to see how power and the everyday intersect.


We hope and expect the 2016 conference theme to inspire a number of research avenues, and look forward to discussing ideas, findings and synergies, in this international academic forum.


We hope to see you at ACCS2016!

Ways to Present

Oral Presentation (25 minutes)

The standard format for presentation. Oral presentations are 25 minutes in length.
Poster Presentation (90 minutes)

Poster presentations allow presenters to reach a large audience and engage interested participants directly. These sessions give participants a chance to network with other delegates who may be interested in similar research or other disciplines.
Virtual Presentation

Virtual presentations afford authors the opportunity to present their research to IAFOR’s far-reaching and international online audience, without time restrictions, distractions or the need to travel. Presenters are invited to create a video of their presentation which will be uploaded to the official IAFOR Vimeo channel, and will remain online indefinitely. This is a valuable and impactful way of presenting in its own right, but also an alternative means for those delegates who may be unable to travel to the conference due to financial or political restrictions. The same publishing opportunities apply to virtual presenters, with final papers being included in Conference Proceedings.
Following the conference, virtual presenters will be mailed a conference pack, including receipt of payment, certificate of participation and a printed copy of the Conference Programme.
The Vimeo channel will be referenced on all conference materials.
There is no limit to length or style but certain restrictions apply to files size and music selection. Guidelines and further information on creating the video will be sent following registration.
Please note that video presentations are to be created by the author. IAFOR does not permit live video conferencing.

We do not allow presentations by video-conferencing but presenters have the opportunity to submit a video of their presentation, which will be placed on the official video channel. Information on how to do this will be sent following registration.
Workshop Presentation (60 to 90 minutes)


A workshop is a brief, intensive course, lasting 60 to 90 minutes, which is led by an experienced practitioner, usually with a Ph.D. It facilitates group interaction and the exchange of information amongst a smaller number of participants than is usual at a plenary session.


Often a workshop involves problem solving, skills training, or the dissemination of new content or disciplinary approaches. Conference workshops are typically more instructional and interactive in nature than oral presentations and involve participants working with the workshop leader on a particular topical issue.
Panel Presentation (90 minutes)

As the organiser of a proposed panel, submit a proposal for the panel through the online system.
Panels must have at least four participants (including the chair).
All the panel participants must be listed in the submission, with the chair leader as the primary author, and the other presenters as co-authors.
If your proposal is accepted, you will be invited to register for the conference. Please ensure that you send the submission reference number to the other members of your panel and have them register in a timely fashion. Upon payment of the registration fee of all participants, your panel will be scheduled in the conference programme.
If you, as the panel chair, wish to publish a joint paper associated with the panel in the conference proceedings, please upload one through the online system.
If you and your panel members wish to publish separate papers, they may register individually and submit their proposals for review.


Review System and Scheduling Requests


Authors as Reviewers: A Reciprocal System

Our academic events would not be what they are without a commitment to ensuring adherence to international norms of abstract peer review. IAFOR relies on a large number of international scholars from around the world to contribute to a shared vision of promoting and engaging in international, intercultural and interdisciplinary dialogue, and if you are taking part in an IAFOR event, then that means you. Authors may be asked to review up to five abstracts for the conference. You are under no obligation to participate in this reciprocal system, but if you are selected to review, and undertake this task of grading abstracts for the the conference you will be credited in the conference programme.
Scheduling Requests


Requests for specific times and days for presentations are not usually alloweddue to the large number of participants. We ask that you reserve requests for religious reasons or other exceptional and unavoidable circumstances.


We hope that participants attend each day in order to have a rewarding conference experience. If you must put in a scheduling request, you may only request one black-out day -- one day to not present at the conference. Requests for specific days or times will not be accepted.


Scheduling requests will not be accepted after the registration deadline.

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. 

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.

Conference dates: 26–28 May 2016

Abstract submission deadline (max 400 words references excluded): 31 January 2016

Notification of acceptance: 15 February 2016

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

Symposium

Making Music in Film: XI. Symposium for Film Music Research

July 21 - 23, 2016 Zentrum für Populäre Kultur und Musik, Freiburg, GermanyHosted by the Zentrum für Populäre Kultur und Musik (ZPKM) Freiburg
and the Kiel Society for Film Music Research

The XI. Symposium for Film Music Research will take place at the Zentrum für Populäre Kultur und Musik (Centre for Popular Culture and Music), University of Freiburg, and will be dedicated to the filmic representation of musical performance.
Scenes and sequences that show film characters making music have always been essential attractions of cinema. What does it mean when characters break into song or start playing an instrument? Which topoi, conventions or stereotypes can we find across different musical and film genres? Which perspectives on the act of musical performance do films and TV formats offer? Which popular attitudes towards the conditions, rules and peculiarities of musical practice in their historical, economic and political contexts have shaped filmic representations?


Addressing these and other questions, the conference centers on the analysis and interpretation of scenes that show music-making. Such scenes should be examined and discussed within narratological, aesthetic, stylistic, musicological, performance and gender contexts. We welcome discussions of various film genres and TV formats beyond musical films or biopics of musicians.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

a. musical performance in its narrative context
b. diegetic music in silent film
c. rehearsal and performance in stage/backstage and other diegetic settings
d. musical performances in documentaries
e. musical performance and the construction of myths and star images
f. musical performance in TV formats and series
g. performative acts and gender construction
h. virtuosity vs. amateurism
i. musical performance as communication
j. construction of collectives through performance
k. filmic and performative spaces
l. physicality of musical performances
m. spontaneous expression vs. rehearsed performance


For the open part of the conference, we welcome submissions of proposals dealing with any aspect of music in film. We particularly encourage younger scholars and PhD students to present their current research at the conference.

Please submit an abstract (max. 300 words) for a 25 min presentation, as well as a short biography (max. 100 words), to filmmusik@email.uni-kiel.de (contacts: Tarek Krohn and Willem Strank).

Submission deadline: March 31, 2016
Notification of acceptance: April 30, 2016
Conference languages are German and English.
The organizers will not be able to cover any travel costs or other fees.

Summer School

Re-Ordering Diversity: Humanitarian Assistance in the Context of Forced Migration and Displacement

4 - 8 July 2016

Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (Germany)

Application Deadline: 30 April 2016

Forced migration and displacement are controversially debated issues in current public and political discourse. A rhetoric of threatened order manifests itself alongside attempts to frame the situation as manageable, or even as a chance.

Considering the resulting challenges that politics and practitioners are facing, the need for a more thorough academic engagement becomes apparent. On the one hand, it is paramount to collect a corpus of data which will enable a better theorization of the issues at hand; on the other hand, academics have to take responsibility as the ‘informed consultants’ politicians and practitioners are in need of.



The Summer School will take place from 4th until 8th July 2016 at the University of Tuebingen, as a cooperation between the Collaborative Research Center (CRC) 923 “Threatened Order – Societies under Stress”, the Center for Gender and Diversity Research, and the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity (Göttingen).



We welcome applications from PhD students and early career researchers from social and cultural anthropology, sociology, political science, and related fields of cultural studies and social sciences. The aim of the Summer School is to learn about and discuss relevant topics and academic approaches through a dialogue between different agents from the field: academics, practitioners, and refugees.

*************

Both those people categorized as ‘refugees’ and the societies receiving them are extremely diverse. Due to a lack of academic expertise and theorization, this aspect has so far been only marginally acknowledged in the German-speaking context. In the field, this often results in irritations and complex conflicts between agents, in which a perceived threat against one’s own group dominates the discourse.


In collaboration with researchers from diversity studies, and taking into account the CRC’s model of ‘threatened order’, the summer school will deal with these issues and work towards finding answers to the following questions:


Which forms of diversity are articulated in the context of forced migration and displacement?


What new forms of diversity emerge?



Which mechanisms of order do involved agents and institutions apply (‘re-ordering’)?



The Summer School provides a platform for dialogue between different agents from the field (researchers, practitioners, refugees), who, together, will develop hypotheses and further questions. The goal is to find ways to theorize and frame forced migration and displacement in terms of questions of diversity, humanitarian assistance and ‘threatened order’, and especially to integrate and specify topics from ongoing and emerging research projects.

Aside from a close cooperation between the research institutes, involving practitioners and refugees has a high priority within our concept. The idea is to pursue research not about them, but collectively as a joint effort.
