> "Translation" raises questions of authenticity, authority, legitimization,
> subjectivity, and objectivity. How can we theorize translation so that it
> can serve as tool to present "experience" with respect for the integrity of
> the other? What is the relationship between the different subjects involved
> in the process of translation? What is the role of translation in the
> validation of the narratives of marginalize communities and indigenous
> cultures? What are the ethics of translation?
> 
> 
> 
> For this special issue, we use  the phrase "teaching in translation" to
> refer to teaching that occurs across boundaries of language, nationality,
> culture, class, race/ethnicity, gender, sexuality as well teaching that
> questions traditional disciplinary and hierarchical limits.

> The editors of Transformations seek articles (3,000 - 8,000 words) and media
> reviews (books, film, video, performance, art, music, etc. 1,000 to 3,000
> words) examining approaches to teaching translation as a broadly understood
> concept in a variety of contexts: creative writing (for example, the
> multilingual texts), literature, women’s and gender studies, anthropology,
> history, psychology, sociology, art, photography, geography, religion,
> philosophy, working-class studies, ethnic studies, cultural studies,
> science, and others. Multidisciplinary approaches that focus on--or
> include--discussions of non-Western cultures are especially encouraged.
> Autobiographical criticism, narrative scholarship, photo-essays, and
> experimental work are welcome.
