Meeting Description:

The Governance Programme at the Aga Khan University Institute for the Study of
Muslim Civilisations invites papers in the disciplines of legal anthropology,
law and comparative law, legal pragmatics, sociolinguistics and discourse
analysis, politics and translation studies for a two-day conference on
translations of legal discourse in Arabic-speaking contexts.

What is the impact of translation on the diffusion of legal concepts between
domains of discourse? Does the translation of legal terminology modify the
perception of the corresponding legal phenomena in observable and applied
ways? How are words translated from legal discourse into everyday discourse,
and does translation happen in the other direction?

Confirmed Keynote Speakers:

Prof Myriam Salama-Carr, University of Manchester.
Prof Baudouin Dupret, Sciences Po Bordeaux.
Prof Roberta Aluffi, University of Turin.
Dr Neveen Al Saeed, Ain Shams University, Cairo.

Time and Venue:

7-8 October 2019
Atrium Conference Room,
Aga Khan Centre,
10 Handyside Street,
London N1C 4DN


Call for Papers:

We welcome papers examining translation in the broad senses of mediation,
transposition and modification, where at least one of the languages is Arabic
in any of its varieties and registers, as used in law-making and law-enforcing
contexts, or in popular representations of the law. The papers need not be
limited to a specific time period or geographical region; for instance, we
will accept papers of demonstrable quality that conduct conversation analysis
of legal hearings, as well as intertextual analysis of historical lawbooks, or
papers that ethnographically examine understandings of the law in
Arabic-speaking countries, as well as study the sociology of translation in
state offices handling asylum applications from Arab refugees.

Our goal is to set up a framework for exploring the effects of the moment of
translation on how law is applied and understood in Arabic and/or by Arabic
speakers.

Please send abstracts of 500 words (excluding bibliography) to
ismc.governance at aku.edu by 31 May 2019. Notifications of acceptance decisions
will be sent out by 30 June 2019.
A limited fund to support scholars who do not have access to institutional
funding will be available to cover travel and accommodation costs. Please
indicate if you need this financial support when applying.

Organiser:

This conference is organised by AKU-ISMC's Governance Programme. The
Governance Programme’s annual workshops and conferences on a range of themes
explore how Muslim societies develop political systems that promote public
welfare, achieve popular legitimacy and recognise minority rights in a time
marked by heated debates over tradition, religion and modernity.

Booking
Free registration to attend will open on 1 July 2019.
