Meeting Description: 

The Duo Colloquium is a conference series with a special tradition, taking
place every five years in two cities in the same year. From 1990–2015, the Duo
Colloquium sessions were held at the University of Łódź and Maastricht
University. As of 2020, they will be held in Łódź and Winterthur. The motif of
the conference series from the start has been Translation and Meaning, and the
central theme of the Duo Colloquium 2020 is Contextuality in Translation and
Interpreting. The conference from 3–5 September 2020 at the ZHAW Institute of
Translation and Interpreting in Winterthur takes an industry-oriented
perspective on this theme, in which professional considerations play a key
role.

The ZHAW session of the Duo Colloquium 2020 has a more industry-oriented focus
on the theme Contextuality in Translation and Interpreting. Contextuality can
be understood at any level, from the geopolitical to the textual, and embraces
both academic and professional considerations of translational and
interpreting phenomena. The sub-themes of the Duo Colloquium 2020 concern the
context(s) and/or decontextualisation in translation and interpreting theory
and practice,embracing both academic and professional considerations of
meaning in translation and interpreting from a variety of disciplinary,
interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspectives.
