Meeting Description:

The fourth edition of the biannual conference organized by the
Research Group TrAdE (Translation and Adaptation from/into English)
seeks to explore how translation and adaptation deal with
ever-changing literary and linguistic shapes in the stream of time.

Call for Papers:

Prominent theoretical issues and practices in contemporary Western
intellectual cultures have made metamorphosis a desirable area for
scholarly study, as the topic is frequently juxtaposed or linked with
something that is not only “other”. Metamorphosis, however, not only
questions the distinctions between the subject and its “other” or
between language and nonlanguage; it also raises issues of definition.
As a result, many studies focused on the concept of metamorphosis
emphasize epistemological and ontological issues pertaining to the
subject’s interaction with the outside world and other people as well
as the subject’s understanding of both the subject and the outside
world. Another topic that has received much attention in recent
studies is metamorphosis as a tropological issue. One of the most
frequently made assertions regarding the tropological status of
metamorphosis is that it draws from a variety of trope categories,
particularly metaphor and metonymy, and yet, as a representation of a
startling and seemingly miraculous change, it is also capable of
playing with the line between the literal and figurative. The
paradoxical nature of the metamorphosis theme further exacerbates
issues with subjectivity, how it is portrayed in literary characters,
and the connection between textuality and knowledge.

The fourth edition of the biannual conference organized by the
Research Group TrAdE (Translation and Adaptation from/into English)
seeks to explore how translation and adaptation deal with
ever-changing literary and linguistic shapes in the stream of time.

TrAdE’s first conference was focused on words as they move from one
linguo-cultural system to another, serving as means for connection and
contact. The second conference addressed the issue of contamination
and contagion resulting from linguo-cultural contact in Anglophone
scenarios. For its third conference, the Research Group delved into
alterity in the translation and adaptation of Anglophone (con)texts.

The fourth transdisciplinary Conference shall be focused on (but not
limited to) the following topics:

Metamorphosis/Fluidity in Education and (Social) Media;
Metamorphosis/Fluidity in Art(s), Music, Movies and TV Series;
Metamorphosis/Fluidity in Language, Literature, Linguistics and
Translation;
Metamorphosis/Fluidity of Style(s) and Genre(s);
Panels/Abstracts Submission
