Meeting Description:

FORUM GOALS
The fourth industrial revolution is quickly changing communication patterns,
global trade policies, political alliances and people's lifestyles.
Consequently, it is becoming more important than ever to promote broader
mutual understanding among people from different cultures through translation,
interpreting and other channels of intercultural communication.

Interculturality takes on a different meaning as societal identities and
community memories around the world are being impacted in a new way.
Additionally, an increasing application of new technologies has put the
language industry as a whole in flux, which will inevitably bring changes to
translation and interpreting (T&I). At this juncture, an exchange of ideas by
practitioners and theorists from the T&I and intercultural communications
fields would help us to better understand and face the challenges brought
about by this constantly evolving environment.

What are some of the major changes facing scholars, educators and
practitioners from the fields of T&I and intercultural studies? What else will
be transforming the field in the near future? What are the opportunities in
store? What challenges?  How can T&I practitioners, educators, scholars and
industry players creatively and resourcefully respond to these changes? How
can T&I practitioners and educators better adapt to an uncertain future?

The Forum intends to provide educators and practitioners from the fields of
T&I and intercultural studies with the opportunity to:
interact, network and benefit from each other's research and expertise at this
important moment; synthesize research perspectives and foster
interdisciplinary dialogues for developing integrated approaches to complex
problems of T&I and intercultural studies in new globalization contexts;
explore new ways of thinking about the relationship between T&I and
intercultural teaching, research and the language industry; brainstorm about
methodologies to foster global intercultural sensitivity and promote
cooperation between T&I academia and the language industry; advance modes of
inquiry for T&I research and disseminate practical findings to facilitate
understanding among different cultures, societies and geo-national/continental
regions.

SCOPE
The 9th APFTIS is soliciting submissions that reflect diverse theoretical
perspectives and empirical research. Topics are broadly defined, and include,
but are not limited to, the following areas:
T&I services in medical, legal, business, diplomatic, media and
non-traditional contexts, i.e. humanitarian crisis, public safety and law
enforcement
Collaboration between T&I academia and practitioners and industry partners
from other domains 
Community as base for interpreting and translation; i.e. re-enforced and/or
re-defined role of T&I in diversified communities
Agency of translators and interpreters in global societies; i.e. leadership,
construction of a nation's or world region's identity and image, impact on
cultural memory
Big translation and cultural memory: the construction of a nation's identity
/image
New approaches in T&I studies, i.e. trans-creation, adaptation with
compensation, self-censorship
Cultural factors and T&I strategies
Remote interpreting and re-speaking 
Technology application in T&I, in particular T&I-related AI applications, T&I
on demand, post-editing, terminology management, etc.
Multimodality in T&I, i.e. audiovisual, videogames, movies
T&I education and curriculum development
T&I ethics, standards and quality assessment
