Call for Papers and Poster Presentations:

In a multilingual and multicultural world shaped by mediated interactions
between people from diverse national, linguistic and cultural backgrounds,
translation in all its forms and interfaces is more prevalent than ever. In
Africa, as in the rest of the world, translation is intrinsically linked with
its environment: translation in all its variety is not only the object of an
academic discipline, it is a fact of life. This reality is living, shifting
and vibrant, like the academic discipline of translation studies, which has
shown its flexibility over the past decades. The interaction of translation
studies with fields such as linguistics, literary studies and cultural studies
is obvious. At the less traditional end of the spectrum, publications on
translation and the Anthropocene and the era of big data point to a myriad of
extremely fertile research areas.

The theme of “Living Translation” includes current topics, such as the role of
translation in the lived experience of the Other, in fake news, mass
communication, power and ideology, oral histories, the hegemony of English,
accessibility, inclusivity, education, gender and transformation, since these
practices all imply, implicate or employ translation in some way. It is the
aim of the 9th EST Congress to explore these and other pertinent matters of
translation in real life, from various theoretical and analytical points of
departure. The three sub-headings, “People, Processes, Products”, are intended
to stimulate robust discussions as we map our way forward as a living
discipline.

The 9th EST Congress welcomes contributions related to this general topic, and
starting from a broad view of translation studies. Proposals for contributions
can focus on various (inter)disciplinary, methodological, conceptual,
professional, historical or geographical approaches relating to the conference
theme.
