Linguistic Field(s): Translation 

Call Deadline: 06-Apr-2021 

Meeting Description:

Literary Translation as a sub-field of Translation Studies has historically
been extremely important in the formulation of new theories, paradigms, and
approaches. As Translation Studies has continued to broaden during the 21st
century, what we know about literary forms of translation has been further
enriched by new findings on technical, performative and political texts.

Today, literary translation is seen as the last bastion of human translation,
still mostly beyond the scope of machine translation systems (Toral & Way
2014), and largely untouched by the computer-aided translation systems that
have revolutionised many other forms of translation over the past four
decades. Meanwhile, the PETRA-E Framework for the education and training of
literary translators is shaping and developing the next generation of literary
translators in new ways.

As we stand on the cusp of a new era for literary translation studies research
and practice, this conference takes stock of the current state of the art, and
also looks forward to see what the near-future might hold. It asks as its
central research question how literary translation studies and/or practice
might change and develop over the next decade.


Call for Papers: 

We welcomes papers on subjects including, but not limited to:
 - Recent developments in literary translation training and pedagogy,
particularly with reference to the PETRA-E framework;
 - The current relevance of literary translation to the formulation of
translation theory;
 - Recent and future developments of literary translation practice;
 - Literary Machine Translation;
 - Computer-aided Literary Translation;
 - Literary Translator Studies / Human Aspects of Literary Translation
Studies;
 - New work on historically under-researched aspects of Literary Translation.

Contributors are asked to bear in mind the central research question of the
conference when formulating their proposals, as they will be assessed on their
relevance to this question, as well as the methodology they outline and the
contribution to knowledge they make.

Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words (excluding bibliographies), and
should be submitted using this online form
(https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfiDCfI8XbbaEirALOwZYgQI3sLzzm91M7UE
odu70vnnawDMg/viewform) by 6 April 2021 to be considered. Presentations at the
conference will be in English and 20 minutes in length, followed by 10 minutes
for questions and answers. All presentations will be recorded. By 6 May 2021,
contributors will be informed whether they are invited to present. By the same
date, the modality of the conference (in-person, online or hybrid) will be
decided.
