Meeting Description:

Two years after the successful first symposium, the Department of Language,
Linguistics and Literature at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill
Campus, St. Michael, Barbados, West Indies is pleased to invite you to the
second Translating Creolization Symposium (TCS2), which will provide a forum
for further academically-stimulating investigation of this under-examined
area.

Translating Creolization Symposium 2 (TCS2)

May 18-19, 2017

Following the era of decolonization, many authors from former colonies have
become internationally renowned and their works have been translated into
major world languages. Consciously and unconsciously, these works are written
expressions of creolization. This event aims both to build on the mostly
literary exposition in these volumes and to (re)focus specifically on issues
directly related to the translation of creole languages and cultures, both
within and beyond the realm of literary expression.  What are the inherent
pitfalls in translating creolization? Can, and should, the translation of
creolization matter in a globalized world? To what extent can, and how should,
creole languages and cultures be translated? Of what relevance and importance
is translating creolization to Translation Studies and academia as a whole?

As the field of Translation Studies rapidly expands, issues relating to the
translation of minority languages and cultures such as those of creole
societies have begun to receive more detailed attention. However, something of
a void still exists in regard to the translation of creole languages and
cultures, especially from regional academics. This symposium on “Translating
Creolization” will therefore provide a forum for airing new avenues of
research and proposing new engagements in this area for academics including
post-graduate students in diverse interdisciplinary fields such as Caribbean
Studies, Cultural Studies, Post-colonial Studies, Diaspora Studies and
translation theorists and practitioners. The main aim is to discuss the impact
of theory on practice and vice versa as well as to exchange new theories and
ideas on the issues specifically involved in translating Creole languages and
cultures worldwide. These discussions can shed light on broader
translatological issues among other languages and cultures. We welcome
comparative work from the Caribbean and other regions where the concept of
creolization is a relevant tool of analysis.

they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department

procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
