2019]*
19-20 June, 2019

In this globalised and digitalised era, the translation and interpreting of
political discourse has become an increasingly important area of research
that presents a number of challenges. These include the sensitiveness of
the subject matter involved, the interdisciplinary nature of the field, and
the particular cognitive or pragmatic constraints that pertain in the
political translation/interpreting process. Apart from its practical
implications for political science and communication studies, research in
this field helps us to further reflect on issues such as the voice of the
translator or interpreter, translatorial intervention, and the ethical
dimensions of political translation and interpreting.

This two-day conference, organised in association with *Bandung: Journal of
the Global South*, serves as a platform for interdisciplinary exchange on
the latest research in this area. The organisers welcome contributions
addressing any aspect of the translation/interpreting of political
discourse. Suggested themes include but are not restricted to:

-        The interface between translation/interpreting and political
discourse: new trends and methods in research;
-        The roles of translators/interpreters in translating and
interpreting political discourse;
-        Cognitive or pragmatic constraints in the translation/interpreting
of political texts (such as policy speeches/statements, parliamentary
debates, press conferences, media interviews with politicians or political
talks/meetings on TV);
-        Corpus-based study of political and policy speeches and their
translation/interpreting: new tools and paradigms;
-        Ethical issues in political translation and interpreting;
-        The use of Critical Discourse Analysis and other tools for
translation/interpreting discourse analysis;
-        Frameworks     and     methods     of     corpora
construction     in     the     study     of translated/interpreted
political texts;
-        Political censorship in the production and circulation of
translated texts.

The conference will also feature two workshops related to the subthemes.

It is hoped that through this conference, participants can gain inspiration
from scholars of different disciplines and build up platforms for future
collaboration and discussion.
