We invite contributions that explore how language, literature and

audiovisual translation (AVT), and related disciplines.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
 - Multilingualism and translanguaging in digital discourse

content
 - Professional and non-professional AVT practices in online platforms
 - Memes, GIFs and the role of translation in digital culture
 - Accessibility and inclusion in AVT for online audiences
 - Literary representations of online identities
 - Digital storytelling and multilingual narratives
 - Fanfiction, social media poetry and participatory literature
 - Diversity and inclusion in digital media
 - Language technology and techno-linguistic biases
 - Translanguaging and identity formation in digital spaces
We welcome both theoretical and empirical approaches, as well as
interdisciplinary perspectives.
We welcome individual presentations (20-minute talk + 10-minute Q&A)
and panel proposals (4 to 8 participants). Abstracts (300-600 words,
excluding references) should be submitted by 30 July 2025, following
