CALL FOR PAPERS

Dear colleagues,

The Departament de Filologia Anglesa i Alemanya at the University of
Valencia will host on 16-18 October, 2002, the First International Seminar
on Gender and Language (The Gender of Translation / The Translation of
Gender).
We would like to invite proposals for papers, workshops and posters on all
aspects of gender and language studies and, especifically, on all
theoretical and practical aspects of the interface between gender and
language studies and translation studies. Topics for the Seminar will
include, among others:
- analysis of gender marking in translation.
- women, men, language and translation.
- gender bias in translation.
- translation as gender-specific cultural transfer.
- translating 'the body'.
- re-translating gender-specific texts (e.g. the Bible).
- the challenge to grammatical gender in translation.
- the feminisation/masculinisation of translations.
- 'translators' vs. 'translatresses'.
- relation between women and translation: on the borders of meaning.
- feminist translation.
- the translation of 'identity'.
- how sites of translation become gendered.
- 'authorship' in women's and men's translations.
- sexism and translation.
- etc.

The Seminar is interdisciplinary: we invite work on diverse languages and
from a variety of fields of study, although with a main focus on language
and discourse.

Dates: 16, 17 & 18 October 2002.
