Meeting Description:

The Department of Translation and Communication Studies at the University
Jaume I, Spain, is delighted to announce the forthcoming 11th edition of the
International Conference on Translation and Interpreting to take place on May
10-12, 2017 in Castelló, Spain.

The creation of supranational bodies (European Union, African Union, Caribbean
Community, Organization of Ibero-American States), the public debate on
(con)federalist and plurinational States (Belgium, Spain, United Kingdom,
Bolivia, Canada, India), or the cyclical discussion about national identities
(Catalonia, France, Gibraltar, Australia, Malaysia) stress the fallacies in
autopoietic orders and cast doubts on the possibility of legal systems as
isolated canons aware only of themselves. Daily, political, legal, and social
institutions face the new realities of a postmonolingual order, where the need
for policies to manage multilingualism (including oral, written, and signed
languages) in cross-cultural legal contacts becomes critical to overcome the
dysfunctions of the old industrial order. Decoupling moral, political, and
legal authority from any particular identity – embodied in specific languages,
cultures, religions, races, genders, or sexual orientations – eases the
interdisciplinary project of sharing a global social space. As
post-materialist values secure their roots, overcoming a monolingual paradigm
allows us to acknowledge the differences and the transactional nature of both
languages and political and legal covenants.

Against this background, providing linguistic access to justice becomes a
public service to safeguard fundamental rights and guarantee effective
judicial protection, cornerstones of the new postmonolingual order: protecting
the access to public services, to which every person is entitled, and
providing political recognition of the very ethno-linguistic communities the
State is supposed to serve. These communities, variously minorized, may be
formed by speakers of vernacular languages, but also by members of migrant
ethnocultural groups whose access to public services depends on the
recognition of their own heritage languages. Ethnolinguistic democracy, which
enshrines linguistic access to justice, should ensure protection against the
social and legal ostracism of minorized languages in a broad sense –
vernacular and migrant – and against any form of glottophobia targeting
stateless languages, which the law, so fond of atavisms, may have developed.

The 11th International Conference on Translation and Interpreting: Justice and
minorized languages under a postmonolingual order aims to describe the role
translation, interpretation and, more generally, language planning play or
should play in the creation of a postmonolingual order that favors the
development of diverse identities and the normalization of minorized languages
as codes for managing and accessing justice.

Topics:

- Justice and minorized languages
- Terminology and resources for less-resourced languages
- Ethnolinguistic democracies and cross-cultural law
- Multilingualism and access to justice
- Measures against glottophobia
- Role of translators and interpreters for minorized languages

Confirmed Keynotes: 

- Cecilia Wadensjö, Stockholm University
- Jaume Vernet, Universitat Rovira i Virgili
- Michael Cronin, Dublin City University
- Raquel de Pedro, Heriot-Watt University of Edinburgh

Call for Papers:

Submission Guidelines:

Original unpublished papers and posters are invited. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to, those listed above. Papers and posters may
report on research or on professional experiences. The difference between
papers and posters is that while papers are expected to report on more
conclusive results, posters can present ongoing and not necessarily completed
research, teaching or training activity, practical work, software programs,
projects or new developments.

Papers:

Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract (maximum of 750 words) of
the paper they would like to present together with a short 200-word abstract
and short biography. Both abstracts and bionotes should be submitted in
English, Catalan, or Spanish. Although the extended abstract is limited to 750
words, it should provide sufficient information to allow evaluation of the
submission by the program committee.

Submissions in either Catalan or Spanish should also provide an English
version of the 200-word abstract and the bionotes. The short abstracts of
accepted papers will be used in online program and event advertising.

Camera-ready versions of the accepted papers will be published in the
conference e-proceedings with an assigned ISBN number, subject to the
presenter having duly registered for the conference. Their length should not
exceed 6,000 words.

Posters:

Poster proposals are invited in the form of poster abstracts not exceeding 500
words, in English, Catalan, or Spanish. Authors should submit a 200-word
version and a short biography. Submissions in either Catalan or Spanish should
also provide an English version of the 200-word abstract and the bionotes.

Camera-ready versions of the accepted posters will be published in the
conference e-proceedings with an assigned ISBN number, subject to the
presenter having duly registered for the conference. Their length should not
exceed 2,000 words.

Submission:

The full version of both papers and posters should be submitted via the CMT
conference submission system (https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/JMLPO2016).

The conference website (http://blogs.uji.es/itic11) provides formatting
guidelines in the form of a Word stylesheet. EndNote bibliographic style files
are also provided.

Schedule:

September 5, 2016: deadline for abstracts of papers and posters
October 15, 2016: all authors notified of decisions
December 1, 2016: deadline for speakers’ registration
December 15, 2016: final program to be published on the conference webpage
