Meeting Description:

The conference organized by the PhD Course in Language and Literary Studies of
the University of Udine and Trieste aims at bringing together young students
and researchers to explore the concept of 'play/game' in and of texts.
During the three-day conference participants will analyze how the concepts of
'play/game' and 'space'  interact and contribute to constructing meanings in
linguistic, philological, and literary studies.


2nd Call for Papers:

The XXXVI PhD cycle of the course in Language and Literary Studies of the
University of Udine and University of Trieste is pleased to announce the
doctoral conference “Faites vos jeux: game and space in texts and of texts”,
which will take place on March 22-24, 2023 in Udine.

The theoretical debate revolving around the topic of game is deeply rooted and
took different shapes according to space and time. However, it goes without
saying that the 20th century gave a new impulse to these studies, as game
started to be theorized from several disciplinary perspectives (psychology,
sociology, anthropology, esthetics, philosophy, literature, and linguistics).
Regardless of the adopted approach, in most cases it is the limitedness of
game, also in terms of spatiality, that is theorized preliminarily. [...]
Within this theoretical framework which, although based on a 20th century
perspective, does in no way intend to limit the conference to contemporaneous
studies, we invite participants to submit abstracts in the following research
fields of linguistics and translation studies (which are to be considered as
mere suggestions and do not exclude other research lines):

- Wordplays within textual spaces;
- Theoretical reflections and translational analyses of wordplays in textual
spaces, for instance in literary
works or audiovisuals (cfr. inter alia Vandaele 2002);
- Games in the space of learning: recreational linguistics;
- Games in digital spaces: the language of videogames and gamers (anglicisms
and distinctive features)
as well as videogame translation and localization;
- Game metaphors in negotiations or other discourse spaces;
- The concept of space within games (and consequent translation issues):
toponyms and other culturebound
references, for instance in boardgames or digital games;
- German vs American games: different game styles and consequences on the
linguistic-textual level;
- Gambling in the space of translation: risk-taking in the translating process
(cf. inter alia Pym 2015, 2020; Künzli 2004).
