Linguistic Field(s): Translation 

Call Deadline: 28-May-2017 

Meeting Description:

The need for these ad hoc language practitioners has recently been
acknowledged where large numbers of migrants are moving from war, prosecution,
poverty and other kinds of destitution into safer spaces. Within the African
context, the divide between the first and second economy is also relevant,
where in the second, i.e. informal economy, non-professional interpreters and
translators are the norm in public spaces. It has become increasingly clear
that such circumstances are likely to prevail for some time yet. 

The critical role of non-professional interpreters and translators needs
proper recognition, also within the domain of interpreting and translation
studies. This is a dynamic research field currently being explored and pushing
the boundaries of what we know about informal multilingual communicative
practices. The designation “non-professional” in itself is rather blurred in
that it is often used as equivalent to “ad hoc”, “unpaid”, “volunteer”,
“informal”, “limitedly trained” in translation or interpreting. 

NPIT4 provides an opportunity for researchers and practitioners within the
field to share recent and relevant work within this discipline and related to
the activities of non-professional interpreters and translators.


Call for Papers:

We invite proposals for panels, presentations or posters that deal with any
theoretical, empirical, methodological or ethical aspect of research related
to the general theme of the conference.

Topics may include, but are not limited to:

- Defining and mapping the field of non-professional interpreting and
translation
- Ad hoc interpreting and translation in everyday life
- Language brokering by family members (oral, written or sign language)
- Non-professional sign language interpreting
- Recruiting and/or training non-professional interpreters and translators
- Certification and para-professionalism
- Interdisciplinary approaches to research non-professional interpreting and
translation
- Community translation and interpreting
- Non-professional translation and interpreting in crisis situations
- Temporary interpreters and translators in conflict situations
- Interpreting in prisons and between prisoners
- Religious interpreters and translators
