Meeting Description:

ATISA IX: Contexts of Translation and Interpreting

Biennial Conference of the American Translation and Interpreting Studies
Association 
University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee / March 29-April 1, 2018

Keynote Speakers: 

- Sherry Simon (Concordia University)
- Federico Federici (University College London)

Over the past decade, shifts in disciplinary focus, such as the “sociological
turn”; in historical circumstances, marked by international conflict,
globalization and mass migration; and in material conditions, especially as
they relate to technological advances and the increasing availability of new
technologies, have given “context” a new salience in Translation and
Interpreting Studies. This has led scholars in the field to address the
concept at a theoretical level while also digging deep into specific
institutional, professional, historical and socio-cultural contexts of
translation and interpreting. In addition, scholars have challenged the
Eurocentric and professional focus of traditional models by exploring
translation and interpreting in non-Western, non-national, and
non-professional contexts, as well as contexts of language teaching and
learning. This conference aims to provide a forum for a discussion of the
latest research on contexts of translation and interpreting as well as the
various theoretical and methodological issues related to such research.
