Meeting Description:

After a series of turns in the past three decades, the scope of translation
studies has been extraordinarily expanded. The edges of the discipline have
become blurry, intersecting with other fields and expanding. An increasing
number of scholars in translation studies have come to realize that
translation is a social activity concerned with the transfer of various types
of signs (written, graphic, vocal, etc.), involved with different social
factors (ideological, economic, cultural, etc.), and influenced by diverse
human agents (translation initiators, translators, translation critics,
patrons, readership, etc.). In an era of globalization, people have become
more explicitly aware that activities of translation are not only a
substantial part of human life but also a catalyst to the evolution of other
social functional systems and a driving factor in inter-system communications.
It should not come as a surprise then that studying translation in real social
contexts and researching the interrelations among translation and other social
systems is attracting more and more academic interests.

Keynote speakers:

- Lawrence Venuti, Temple University, USA 
- Weihe Zhong, Guandong University of Foreign Studies, China
- Theo Hermans, University College London, UK
- Michael James Puett, Harvard University, USA

Paper of Excellence Award:

The academic committee will choose three papers of excellence submitted by

After the conference, selected papers passing peer reviews will be published
in Asia-Pacific Translation and Intercultural Studies (Routledge/Taylor &
Francis) by Tsinghua University Press.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

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 Indiana University 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.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
