JoSTrans 35 (January 2021)
Special issue 'Translation and Plurisemiotic Practices'

Guest editors: Francis Mus and Sarah Neelsen 
http://jostrans.org/issue35/CFP_JosTrans%2035_EN_DEF.pdf

This special issue of JoSTrans is a contribution to the current research on
translating 'multidimensional' works that combine texts with other semiotic
elements such as music, lighting, body movements or images, usually associated
with the stage. Translators who have to transfer those plurisemiotic works
face hybrid objects: as meaning is not only invested in words, translators
must thus take into account this intersemiotic dialectics and create
multidimensional works as well. 

Some plurisemiotic practices have already been the object of academic
research. This particularly applies to translation for the stage and
audiovisual translation, two fields of research that have remarkably developed
over the past two decades. Other areas are much less explored. Research on the
interweaving of translation and music is much more recent, especially when
popular music is involved. This is also the case for translation and plastic
arts, the interconnection of which has rarely been the object of systematic
research: can the translation of a text be shaped as an art object? What kind
of translation does the circulation of plastic works require? Sign language
has attracted a lot of interest of late, but is mostly studied as a language
of translation rather than as a language of creation.

The 35th issue of JoSTrans will carry on developments already started in
several previous issues, for instance 'The Translation of Multimodal Texts'
(2013) and 'Translation in the Creative Industries' (2018), though in this
forthcoming 35th issue contributions will be limited to plurisemiotic
practices performed in front of an audience. Communication between artist(s)
and audience(s) occurs through some form of 'translation', 'localization' or
'adaptation'. Analyses can thus also tackle new professional fields of
expertise as well as the development of new translation technologies, various
topics that have already been addressed in several issues, particularly in
issues n°23 (2015), 26 (2016) and 30 (2018).

Publication schedule:
Let us know whether you are interested in participating by 10 September 2018,
with a working title.
Proposals (a 500-word abstract) must be sent by 1 February 2019 to the two
guest editors:
Francis Mus (francis.mus at uliege.be)
Sarah Neelsen (sarah.neelsen at sorbonne-nouvelle.fr) 

Full articles must be sent by 1 June 2019.
