The relationships between Romance languages have been strengthened by several
circumstances. The first one, (chrono)logically, was the linguistic proximity
between the different extensions of vulgar Latin (if we want to avoid the
usual metaphor of the “sibling languages”). This proximity is also often
portrayed as geographic —so that they are presented as “languages in
contact”—, and this makes it possible to draw a line across most Western
Europe which is only interrupted when we consider the regions in Eastern
Europe and the expansion of Romance languages into other continents. This
proximity has crystallized into constant historical and cultural connections
and links, not without their dose of conflict, in which mediation (translation
and interpreting) plays a crucial role (...).

This volume wants to provide new perspectives about mediation between Romance
languages, with contributions that bring into question, either in general or
in specific terms, the aforementioned convoluted web of clichés, while they
avoid both anecdotal observations and the risks of generalization. To do so,
we will consider one specific example, the case of Spanish (as a source or a
target language) and its relationship with the rest of Romance languages. From
this perspective, we will welcome proposals focused on any topic that
contributes, based on this particular case, to the general perception about
intra-Romance mediation, with lines of research including but not limited to
the following:
- Translation between Spanish and the rest of Romance languages: the scope of
“area-related studies” in Translation Studies.
- The Romance languages area: myth or reality?
- Center/s and periphery/ies: distances, exoticism and asymmetries in the
Romance language field.
- (Publishing) policies and linguistic-cultural proximity.
- The field of Romance languages and their confrontation with English as
lingua franca.
- Translation versus/together with other established disciplines: Romance
philology and/or linguistics. 
- Translation and shaping of the Romance language area: historical
perspectives and contemporary development. 
- From intra-Romance mediation to Translation theory.
- Contributions from the (re)translation of (classic) literary works: updating
or questioning the canon, the margins of creativity.
- Aspects of dialectics between intercomprehension and translation.
- Mediation between Romance languages and a cartography of strategies and
techniques.
- New approaches on translation phenomena: from the dangers of interference to
the fear of what is similar (“homoiphobia”).
- The assessment/evaluation of intra-Romance mediation: singular approaches.
- Contributions for/from automatic translation.
- Ultra-European expansion: mediation issues.
