Linguistic Field(s): Translation 

Call Deadline: 31-Dec-2021 

Meeting Description:

The conference aims to investigate how translation may act as a form of
re-enunciation of hate speech and to assess whether contested elements of hate
speech are accentuated, undermined or modified through translation.


Call for Papers:

A founding element of the translation act, intercultural communication is
characterized today by the increasing presence of discursively construed
hatred, through which cultural, ethnic, gender, sexual, and religious
diversity is represented as a threat fuelled by intolerance and discrimination
rather than in terms of dialogue and linguistic hospitality (Ricœur 2004).
Aiming at fostering a much-needed counter-discourse, the Conference seeks to
investigate the phenomenon of hate speech from a translation studies
perspective and to analyse its discursive forms and practices at an
interlinguistic, intermedial and multimodal level. 
A complex concept referring—also in legal contexts—to the boundary between the
speakable and the unspeakable, between censorship, free speech and the
safeguard of human dignity (Gagliardone 2019; Bianchi 2021), “hate speech”
covers various forms of expression spreading, inciting and promoting
discrimination, intolerance and violence against individuals and specific
ethnic, religious and social groups (Council of Europe 1997). 
Today’s concerns over linguistic extremism, which turns the conflict with the
Other (Rancière 2000, 2005) into a socially dehumanizing device (Morin 2011),
require an in-depth investigation of discourse analysis studies (Balirano,
Hughes 2020) and the performative power of words in linguistic acts (Austin
1975, Butler 1997). Moreover, with the dissemination of digital communication
and the pervasiveness of social media, verbal, graphic and audiovisual
expressions of hatred have taken on a transnational dimension that displays
the features of multimodal interaction (Bateman, Wildfeuer, Hiippala 2017) as
well.
In the field of translation studies, an interdisciplinary approach to the
translation process allows for the analysis of its cultural, sociological, and
ideological implications (Bassnett and Lefevere 1990; Guillaume 2016; Marais
2018; Munday 2007, Venuti 1992) in different times, geocultural areas, and
complex semiotic contexts (Kress 2020). The conference wishes to promote space
for reflection on translation as re-enunciation of hate speech in its implicit
and explicit forms with a specific focus on professional and fan translations
of verbal, graphic and audiovisual texts (Baker, Saldanha 2019) so as to
assess whether contested elements of hate speech are accentuated, undermined
or modified through translation. 

We welcome proposals pertaining but not limited to:

- specialised discourse (science, law, politics, economics, tourism,
advertising), also as part of the pedagogy of translation; 
- literary discourse and literary genres;
- graphic novels, comics and videogames;
- online interactions and conversational patterns on social media;
- machine translation and hate speech detection;
- hate speech and cyber-bullying;
- translation and multimodality;
- audiovisual and intermedial translation; 
- language acquisition and citizenship education;
- hate speech in multilingual contexts;
- hate speech and intersectionality;
- rhetorical figures of hatred and translation.

Plenary speakers:
Mona Baker, University of Manchester 
Raffaele Perrelli, Università della Calabria
Annabelle Seoane, Université de Lorraine

annafrancesca.naccarato at unical.it and mirko.casagranda at unical.it by December
