Call for Papers:

Glendon Graduate Student Conference in Translation Studies

Location:
Glendon College, York University (Toronto) - March 2 2019

Keynote speaker: 
Michael Cronin, Trinity College Dublin

Translators are not simply language technicians; they bring something crucial
and significant to translation: their identities. But to what culture does
their identity belong? Can a translator belong to any single cultural
identity? Can translation be an identity? As Ivana Hostová (2017) notes, the
concept of identity made its formal début in translation studies in the
mid-1990s and its popularity as a research topic has been growing ever since.
This year’s graduate student conference will explore the various intersections
between translation and identity: the pitfalls and triumphs of cultural
translation in an age of globalisation, the role of translators as cultural
mediators in the process of intercultural communication, the issues of hybrid
identity, as well as perceptions of identity through the prism of gender.

We invite proposals for papers from a variety of fields and perspectives that
engage with issues including, but not limited to:

- Identities of translators in the digital age
- Gender and translation
- Fictional representations of translators/interpreters
- Translation in bilingual contexts
- Migration and migrant literature
- Translator responsibilities in postcolonial contexts
- Translator (in)visibility

Our one-day multilingual conference will address these and related topics. We
welcome proposals for papers (20-minute presentations) and posters. Those
interested are invited to submit an abstract of 250-300 words by December 15,
2018 to transconf2019 at gmail.com. Submissions should include the title of the
paper and the author’s name, affiliations, and contact information.
