This conference is a sequel to four previous conferences held at AHRB Centre for Asian and African Languages in London (2004), the Adivasi Academy in Tejgadh, India (2005), Boğaziçi University in Istanbul (2008), and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (2012). Like the previous conferences, the fifth conference aims to explore the richness and diversity of non-Western discourses and practices of translation.
