Meeting Description:

The Translation and Interpreting Responding to the Challenges of Contemporary
Society Conference is organized to honour the 100th Anniversary of the Faculty
of Arts, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia. 

This international conference aims to address some of the questions on
language and translation policies arising from the changes in contemporary
society, which present a challenge for both the practice of translation and
interpreting as well as for translation and interpreting studies as academic
disciplines. On the one hand, translation practice is faced with new forms of
discourse, modified rhetorical conventions and new channels of communication.
On the other hand, the multilingual world facilitated through translation and
interpreting is challenged by an increasing reliance on a global lingua
franca. These changes foreground important questions concerning language and
translation policies. Moreover, the changing role of the translator in
cross-cultural communication is increasingly recognised in Translation
Studies. In this line of reasoning, the image of the translator as an
invisible “machine” that merely changes the language of the message is
rejected and the focus shifts to the translator as an active participant in
shaping the message in the target language.

The conference, organised by the Faculty of Arts and STRIDON, Slovene
Association for Translation Studies, will take place from 21 to 22 June 2019
at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana.
