Meeting Description:

Translation and Journalism
Guest speaker: Roberto A. Valdeón, Universidad de Oviedo

A relatively new sub-domain in Translation Studies, journalistic translation
has been gaining attention over the past fifteen years. Researchers have begun
to examine the role, use, effects, and status of translation as it relates to
information production in the era of market globalization.

Journalistic writing often incorporates translation, although journalists
rarely recognize translation as a completely separate, specialized skill. And
yet translation is everywhere. When it is understood as the tripartite
activity described by Roman Jakobson (1959: 233), the potential areas of
investigation encompass a wide range of intralingual, interlingual and
intersemiotic phenomena. 

Translation studies has developed the tools to study news selection and
framing, cultural contextualization, representational strategies, and
ideological manipulation, including the modes of message mediation that are at
the heart of journalism. It is time to recognize that research on translation
in journalism and journalism in translation has advanced and will continue to
do so. Journalism is here understood to include all of its traditional genres
and formats, as well as the current practices of news media in the era of
multiplatform and fragmented news consumption.


Call for Papers:

For its 34th conference, the Canadian Association for Translation Studies
(ACT-CATS) is seeking presentations that will contribute to the development of
journalistic translation studies. Here are some avenues of reflection: 

Translation observed in all its forms:
- Intralingual translation: transformation of the message for different
readerships (from print news to Facebook) and popularization of specialized
news 
- Interlingual translation: the transfer of messages from and into various
languages 
- Intersemiotic translation: the transfer of information from images to videos
to tweets
- Intercultural translation

Translation and journalism examined from different angles:
- ethnography
- media studies
- history
- linguistics
- pedagogy
- sociology
- terminology 

Critical analysis of translational phenomena:
- framing and ideology
- the (de)selection of sources and quoted voices
- foregrounding or backgrounding of social actors
- translation’s political effect 

Methodological challenges:
- constructing a large textual and diachronic corpus
- limiting research to freely available content
- compiling a visual or audio corpus 
- analyzing images and videos
- detecting instances of translation in a corpus
- observing journalistic practice on the ground 

The status of translation:
- concept creation (transediting, translingual citation, etc.) and its effect
on translation studies 
- the visibility and invisibility of translation in journalistic content
- translation training and journalistic practice
- non-translation and the hegemony of English
- multiplatform and multilingual dissemination
- MT/NMT in the production of information
