> Meeting Description:
> 
> Since the Welsh Language Act of 1993, Wales has been an officially bilingual country, a status which is to a large extent dependent on and linked to translation. Yet, in contrast to these political developments, there is a lack of substantial research into the history, role and functions of translation in Wales, as well as into how translation-related issues are critical for an understanding of contemporary Wales. Whereas there is considerable research on Welsh language policies and some on translation policies and Welsh-specific translation tools, research on translation from a cultural, historical or theoretical perspective remains scant. This two-day conference, which is part of an AHRC-funded Research Network at Bangor University, will bring together researchers, translators, writers and activists who work in and on translation in Wales and other non-state contexts, to discuss current knowledge and future research agendas for the study of translation away from the 'minor!
> ity cultures' framework developed in the nineties. 
> 
> Call for Papers:
> 
> Potential Topics for Abstract and Panel Proposals:
> 
> Proposals are invited for individual or joint presentations or thematic panels on translation in Wales and other non-state cultures, with no chronological or geographical limitation. We will particularly welcome theoretical reflections and presentations on lesser studied areas and critical questions. We are also open to a range of formats, including poster presentations, round tables, and project overviews, as well as research projects from independent researchers and PhD students.
> 
> For presentations focusing on the Welsh context, work in the following areas will be welcome:
> 
> - The role and function of translation in Wales across history
> - Welsh contributions to translation theory (with particular focus on texts written in Welsh which have rarely been discussed)
> - Translation-related practices as reactions to legislated bilingualism in Wales
> - Attitudes towards translation in Wales
> - The role of translated texts in the formation of Welsh culture
> - Translation and postcolonial studies in the Welsh context
> - Translation and gender studies in the Welsh context
> 
> Please send a 250-word abstract by 31 May 2012 to Dr Helena Miguélez-Carballeira (h.m.carballeira at bangor.ac.uk).
