To Think is To Experiment Postgraduate Research Day 2012

Invitation for papers on
'Narratives in/of Translation'

The Centre for Narrative Research organises the eleventh annual 
Research Day for graduate students on 25 April 2012 in collaboration 
with NOVELLA, Narratives of varied everyday lives and linked 
approaches (NOVELLA). The event will take place at Docklands Campus, 
University of East London. Over the last ten years, this has been an 
exciting event with participants from all over the UK and Europe and 
we look forward to meeting again for a friendly and productive day of 
presentations and discussions.

To Think is to Experiment has been functioning as an intellectual and 
narrative space for postgraduate students from various disciplines in 
different stages of their research. Over the past years, the event 
has hosted stimulating presentations and intense conversations on the 
multiplicities in narrative-based research, approaches and 
experiences. The event has also been a communication node for the 
participants to build up further research connections.

The programmes and abstracts from previous years are available on CNR 
website, http://www.uel.ac.uk/cnr/tothinkistoexperiment.htm

This year, we organise to Think is to Experiment with a special theme 
of Narratives in/of Translation. Translation processes within 
research context and surrounding questions have been a burgeoning 
niche for the arguments about complexities and dilemmas of working 
with material in multiple languages in intercultural research 
settings. Among other disciplines and research practices, narrative 
research is particularly interested in political and cultural 
complexities involved in translation of narratives within research, 
how the processes of translation function not only as a
linguistic but also a cultural performance of narrative exchanges.


We would like to invite postgraduate contributions which draw on 
ongoing or recently completed research projects that involve 
translation at any phase of the research. We welcome papers which 
address the complexities of translation as part of the research 
experience, which conceptually explore translation as one of the 
layers in narrative analysis. We also welcome contributions which 
reflect on experiences of translating narratives and surrounding 
questions to be responded as well as creative ways that researchers 
employ to tackle with these questions.


This is a call for papers for all research students. Participants can 
contribute with a paper (15-30 minutes long) or poster about their work.
Please send an abstract (100-200 words) or just send two or three 
lines if you want to make a brief presentation or poster to

Cigdem Esin, c.esin at uel.ac.uk <mailto:c.esin at uel.ac.uk> by 9 April 2012.


Please note that there is no fee for this event but the number of places is
limited.

We look forward to your response!
