Given the success of the previous four ATT conferences and building on the rich histories of the Asian translation traditions, the American University of Sharjah (AUS) invites contributions to the 5th Asian Translation Traditions Conference (ATT5-Sharjah).

- Agency of the translator 
- Agency of translation 
- Agency of texts
- Translation and national languages
- Agency networks
- Political patronage/agency
- Social patronage/agency
- The discourse of translation
- Translation and national memory/identity
- Translation and the emergence/rise of canons/paradigms.
- Translation and divided loyalties
