Meeting Description:

International conference organized by the Department of Translation Studies at
Constantine the Philosopher University in Nitra, Slovakia in cooperation with
European Association of Audiovisual Translators (AVTE)

Within the last couple of decades, an increased interest in audiovisual
translation (AVT) within the scope of translation studies and intercultural
communication in Europe can be observed. An escalating need to reflect this
specific type of translation communication has emerged from various cultural,
social, geopolitical and technological changes which have taken place at both
a global and local level. Because of the impact of these changes, approaches
and views on media and translation practice are being modified and the demands
of the translation market are becoming more salient. This influences
reflection upon AVT, stimulates the emergence of new interdisciplinary
approaches and defines more particular requirements in translation training.
Audiovisual translation has also attracted the attention of the European
Union, mainly in relation to its efforts to make the individual cultures of
member states available to all EU citizens. Due to economic and technological
pressures the quality of AVT has become a topical issue in the last decade as
well.

Aiming to map the situation in AVT practices in the central European context,
the goal of the conference is to provide an opportunity for scholars and
practitioners in AVT and related areas to present their approaches, research
and experience. The ambition of the organisers is to initiate a discussion on
the specifics of theory, criticism, translation training and AVT practice in
the defined cultural and geographical area – with respect to its translation
tradition, language and cultural context as well as the demands of the
translation market.

Call for Papers: 

The conference will provide a platform for presentations and discussion
focusing mainly at the following topics:

- Audiovisual translation: theory vs practice
(history and development of AVT, theoretical approaches, translation
competence and specialised training, specifics of translation practice)

- Tradition and innovation in AVT
(new approaches and technologies in AVT, quality standards, fansubbing and fan
dubbing )

- Communication, translation, manipulation
(AVT modalities, ideology in translation, meaning manipulation, censorship)

- One country – two translations
(pluricentric versions in AVT, bilingual subtitling, language diversity)

- Audiovisual translation: accessibility and reception
(subtitling for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, artistic interpretation into
sign language, audiodescription, target audience reception)

- Audiovisual media and translation practice in the central European context
(translation from/into languages of limited diffusion, market requirements,
working conditions, legal aspects, intellectual property, translator status)
