Linguistic Field(s): Translation 

Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2012 

Meeting Description:

Compare, contrast, translate. Approach and question. Approach to question. The critical practice proceeds in a double movement towards multiple poles - objects or subjects - that are only accessible as text - across the text. Essentially a movement across fields of forces, the intertext resists totalitarian impulses and totalitarian politics as it never allows privileged objects or subjects to ossify in a position of power. Host and parasite, the critical gaze is always prone to crossing boundaries, confusing reference, (mis)appropriating - thus multiplying the voices of the text.

Participation Fee: 40 euro (foreign participants), 150 RON (Romanian participants)

The fee covers conference folder, welcome reception, coffee breaks, as well as a copy of the proceedings. 

Further details concerning accommodation, venue, meals, payment procedure, etc. will be provided in the Second Circular to be launched no later than 15 June 2012. 

Call for Papers:

Papers are invited to explore intertextuality in its multifaceted aspects, possible lines of approach including the following:

Haunts and hides: presence(s) and absence(s) in/of the text
Transformation: repetition with a difference
Plagiarism: moving across the text of ethics
Intertextuality as discourse strategy
Text World Theory, Possible Worlds Theory and Cognitive Poetics
Text Linguistics vs Discourse Analysis/Systemic Linguistics
Prototext vs metatext via intertext: domesticating or foreignizing?
Iintra- and intertextuality in literary translation
Levels of intertextuality in translation
Translation: inter(con)textualisation and cross-cultural practice
Intertextuality in folklore/political discourse
Intertextuality vs intervisuality

Deadlines:

Submission of abstracts: 15 April 2012 
(via email, to the addresses indicated under Contacts for each of the 4 languages)

Notification of acceptance: 15 May 2012

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
