I am glad to announce that the 3rd East Asian Translation Studies Conference (EATS3) will be held in Venice, Italy, in June 2019.
The abstracts are expected before September 30, 2018.
The conference website is: https://thewaysoftranslation.com/eats3
Conference Theme: “From the Local to the Global and Back. Translation as a Construction of Plural and Dialogic Identities of East Asia”
We wish to promote a general discussion on how translation has been influenced by contemporary global/local contradictions in the East Asian sphere. People’s mobility and migration as well as travelling ideas and theories are the fertile soil for the practice of translation, texts and people being deeply transformed by language and culture contamination.
We invite papers on the following topics and beyond:
- Translation and interpreting in East Asia;
- East Asian traditions of literary translation;
- Circulation and consumption of translation in East Asia;
- Networks and collaborations among interpreters and translators;
- Translation and interpreting for immigrant communities in East Asia;
- Community interpreting in East Asia
- Post-colonial approaches to translation;
- Gender identities in the East Asian context;
- Pedagogical approach to translation in East Asia;
- Translation in popular culture, such as animation, comics, music, TV dramas, films;
- Translation by amateurs, such as fansubs, scanlations and volunteer translation;
- Translation studies and the digital;
- Machine translation, computer-aided translation and East Asian languages.
We also welcome proposals for cross-language panels on inspiring topics (either 3 or 6 speakers in one panel). The conference language is English. Please note this in your abstract submission.
DEADLINE
