Meeting Description:

To help counter the Eurocentric bias of Translation Studies, this conference
will explore the richness of translational activities and diverse discourses on
translation in Asia. One stream will be devoted to India and its multiple
traditions of translation, another to translation traditions in parts of Asia
other than India, and a third stream will bring these together by highlighting
the representation of India and Indian writers in translations in other parts of
Asia and beyond and the representation of Asia in translations into Indian
languages.

Asia in the Asian Consciousness: Translation and Cultural Transactions

Baroda, India, 11-13 November 2005

The field of Translation Studies 'world-wide' is unduly influenced by the
experience of translation in Europe and English-speaking parts of the world. It
reflects therefore the concerns, historiography and anxieties of Anglo-American
and European scholars of translation. This bias in Translation Studies overlooks
the qualitatively different experiences of translation within Asia, failing to
explore the full richness of translational activities and diverse discourses on
translation.

A pioneering effort to address this imbalance and to nurture a forum for continued
interaction among scholars of Asian translation took place in May 2004 when an
intimate workshop on Asian Translation Traditions was held at the School of
African and Oriental Studies (SOAS) in London. In-depth papers about translation
traditions in China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia and Vietnam
highlighted just some of the many facets of translation in Asia that merit
further investigation.

The Baroda sequel to the Asian Translation Traditions workshop will broaden the
initial focus by including other parts of Asia and further aspects of
translation in this region. A feature will be the inclusion of intra-Asian and
intra-Indian traditions of translation so as to impart layeredness and texture
to the discourse of translation in Asia. Since this conference is being hosted
in India, one stream will be devoted to India and its multiple traditions of
translation. Following up on the theme of the London workshop, the theme of the
second stream will be translation traditions in parts of Asia other than India.
A third stream will bring these together by highlighting the representation of
India and Indian writers in translations in other parts of Asia and beyond and
the representation of Asia in translations into Indian languages. In particular,
the organizers invite papers that examine how traditions of tolerance within
Asia, such as Buddhism and Sufism, have been formed and disseminated through
processes of translation.

Deadline for proposals: 1 March 2005. Please email submissions to any of the
organizers (see below). Include the following information: (1) Author's name(s),
(2) postal address, (3) phone number, (4) fax number, (5) email address, (6)
title of paper, and (7) abstract (maximum of 250 words).

Notification of acceptance:  Authors will be notified of acceptance or rejection
by 1 April 2005.

Length of papers: Each presenter will be allocated a total of one hour for the
presentation and ensuing discussions. The aim is to enable more in-depth
discussions and genuine engagement and interaction among conference participants
than is possible with the brief time slots typically available at conferences.
Accepted papers will be considered for inclusion in an edited volume that is
proposed as the outcome of the conference.

Registration: Until details and formal registration procedures are finalised,
please indicate your interest in registering for the conference by emailing one
of the organizers.

Accommodation: All local hospitality and accommodation expenses for speakers at
the conference will be covered by the Bhasha Center
(http://indiatogether.org/bhasha). Participants will be responsible for their
own travel expenses.

Related activities: A half-day visit to Mahatma Gandhi Memorial at the Sabarmati
Ashram.
