Meeting Description:

Conference on Translation and Gender Studies, Pakistan 2014

First International Conference: Translation and Gender Studies
Centre for Languages and Translation Studies
University of Gujrat, Gujrat, Pakistan
23-25 September 2014

Centre for Languages and Translation Studies, University of Gujrat, is the first ever dedicated Centre established for Translation Studies in Pakistan. It offers MPhil programme and is rigorously involved in various research activities in the field of translation.

In continuation of research activities, the Centre plans to organize an international conference on Translation and Gender Studies on 23-25 September 2014 at the Main Campus of UOG.

The interdisciplinary encounter between Gender Studies and Translation Studies has produced very productive and fruitful scholarly debates in the last few decades, especially after the birth of the Canadian school of feminist translation in the 1980s. The publication of Sherry Simon's (1996) and Luise von Flotow's (1997) influential monographs in the 1990s contributed considerably to opening up new areas of research, at a time when new approaches to the discipline of Translation Studies proclaimed a 'cultural turn' emphasising the ideological aspects of translation and paving the way for postcolonial approaches to translation. Over the last few years, conferences and publications have been devoted to examining the multifaceted nature of translation theory and practice when approached from a gender approach. And yet, despite the considerable growth of the discipline in Eastern academic contexts and the development of postcolonial translation studies, most of the existing scholarly works fail to reflect the geographical (especially non-Western) and disciplinary diversity within the field.

The aim of this conference is to investigate the gender politics of translation across multiple languages and cultures, paying particular attention to debates favoured by Eastern and postcolonial perspectives on both gender and translation.

Confirmed Keynote Speaker:

- Luise Von Flotow, University of Ottawa, Canada

Guest Speakers:
