Subject: Panel on Interpreting in Religious Contexts at the EST Congress (CFP)

 
We are delighted to announce that there will be a panel on Interpreting in
Religious Contexts at the Intersection of Disciplines at the EST Congress in
Oslo in 2022. Full panel abstract and instructions on submitting a paper can
be found below.

Nearly a decade after the first appearance of Interpreting in Religious
Contexts (IRC) as a panel at EST Congress (Downie and Karlik, 2012), this
panel will ask how understanding of this practice and its effects on religious
communities can be enlightened by inter-disciplinary research. IRC is
understood as the performance in a signed or spoken language of a
representation of what was said or signed in another language within any form
of religious practice or religious organisation. New perspectives on this
practice are especially timely in view of the changes in religious practice
and interpreting delivery brought about by COVID-19 restrictions on in-person
gatherings.

Researchers have stressed that IRC serves wider purposes, beyond providing
access to the semantic content of what was said or signed. Vigouroux (2010)
argued that interpreting was the performance of vision of the church and its
relationship with the surrounding community. The work of St André (2010) on
the translation of Buddhist sutras and van der Louw's (2008) on the
preparation of the Septuagint translation of the Jewish Scriptures pointed to
the role that interpreting played in the process of sacred text translation
and the adaptation of such translations to their cultural environment. This
suggests that Balci Tison (2016) was correct to connect IRC with church
identity formation.

We particularly welcome papers on the following areas:
- Theological accounts of IRC in the light of ecclesiology, homiletics, and
hermeneutics, 
- Discussions of the social and cultural position and power of IRC using
tools, theories and methods from cultural studies, sociology, sociology of
religion, performance studies, and social psychology, 
- Historical reflections of the links between IRC and religious translation, 
- Reflections of the intersection between IRC and research on multi-ethnic
religious and inter-religious practice, especially in light of the changes in
such practices brought about by COVID-19 restrictions 
- Examinations of the place of IRC within Interpreting Studies, especially as
regards the theoretical and methodological insights it might offer to research
on other forms of interpreting.
