Meeting Description:

The Centre for Translation & Interpreting Studies in Scotland (CTISS) at
Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh is delighted to announce an international
conference on Translation and interpreting in an era of demographic and
technological change, to be held in Edinburgh on 30 and 31 May 2018.

Open to all, the conference immediately follows the members-only General
Assembly of CIUTI (Conférence Internationale Permanente d’Instituts
Universitaires de Traducteurs et Interprètes http://www.ciuti.org/ ) and is
intended to create a common space for reflection on translation and
interpreting issues. The conference language is English.

Location: Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, Scotland 

Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland, the home of the Scottish Parliament
and well served by international communication and transport links. The
University was established in 1821 as the world's first mechanics' institute,
with its Royal Charter granted in 1966). It is ranked among the World's top
500 and the UK’s top 30 universities. The Centre for Translation &
Interpreting Studies in Scotland (CTISS) is internationally renowned for the
calibre of its research which has been developed over more than 40 years.
Bringing together research expertise across disciplines in translation
studies, interpreting and applied language studies, the Centre’s work –
building a diverse and coherent body of knowledge which seeks to address
socially-relevant issues – informs the thinking of government, industry and
public bodies around the world.


Call for Papers:

Key dates:

- Abstract submission deadline: 31 January 2018
- Notification of acceptance: 28 February 2018
- Registration open: 28 February 2018
- Early-bird registration available until: 31 March 2018

Aim and scope:

The digital era, characterized by technology which increases the speed and
breadth of knowledge turnover within the economy and society, now embraces
every aspect of our lives. The impact of new technologies is changing the very
nature of language and communication, causing adjustment in every aspect of
who says what, to whom, how, why, and with what effect. These developments
interact in increasingly complex, pivotal and pervasive ways with demographic
shifts, caused by war, economic globalisation, changing social structures and
patterns of mobility, environmental crises, and other factors. Translators and
interpreters attempt to keep up with these shifts. This conference is designed
to reflect upon the innovations in research, practice and training that are
associated with this turbulent landscape. 

Topics:

We invite papers related but not limited to the following translation and
interpreting (T&I) areas: 

- T&I in the digital economy
- T&I and new technologies
- Accessibility issues in T&I (e.g. data sharing, maintenance, copyright)
- New methodologies in T&I
- Multimodality in T&I
- T&I and the media
- T&I and literature
- T&I in the public sector
- T&I in politics and law
- Ethics, equality and diversity in T&I
- T&I in education

Submissions are invited for 20-minute presentations. Abstracts should be no
more than 400 words (excluding references) and clearly state research
questions, approach, method, data and (expected) results. Please submit your
abstract as a file attachment including the title of the paper, author name,
affiliation and e-mail address to CIUTIconference2018 at hw.ac.uk. The subject
header of the submission email should read: Abstract CIUTI. 

Further details will soon be available via
http://www.ctiss.hw.ac.uk/research/conferences1.html .
