Third IATIS Regional Workshop – Western Balkans

Translator and Interpreter Training

25-26 September 2014

Organised by: Faculty of Philosophy, University of Novi Sad, Serbia

The main focus of this two-day conference is translator and interpreter academic education and professional training. There are several areas that are of importance for this region. The trends that need to be addressed in training but are insufficiently present in current educational programmes, include: a) Field/domain specialization; b) Technical skills (including pre-/post-editing of MT); c) Revision skills; d) Management skills (soft skills); e) Standards of compliance (especially through teamwork); f) Translation Ethics; and g) Translator’s in/visibility.

There is also a perceived need to include modules in translation curricula that consolidate different functional styles and registers of the students’ mother tongue. Training in translation into B language is also very relevant, especially for this part of Europe since such translations have a good market-share.

Another very important issue is to instill pride in the profession by establishing proper accreditation and recognition models.

Therefore, we would like to invite papers exploring any of the following sub-themes: 

• Translation and Interpreting Curricula
• Technology Literacy in Translation
• Professional Accreditation and Recognition of Translators
• Assessment in Translation and Interpreting for Pedagogical Purposes
• Current Trends in Translation and Interpreting Training: Methodology, Materials and Internship
• Training in Professional Settings
• Challenges and Prospects in Translation and Interpreting Studies
• Translation Ethics
• Editing and Revision Procedures: Current and Best Practice
• Training in Soft Skills
• Training for Translation into Language B

Keynote Speakers:

• Mona Baker (University of Manchester, UK)
• Anca Greere (University of Cluj, Romania)
• Nataša Pavlović (University of Zagreb, Croatia)

Papers accepted for the parallel sessions will be allocated 30 minutes in the program, which includes 20 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for questions/discussion.

Proposals for workshops of one and a half hour sessions will be considered. Particpants can also make poster presentations of research they are currently undertaking.

Submission of Abstracts

The deadline for the submission of abstracts is December 1, 2013. Authors of the accepted papers will be notified by March 1, 2014. An abstract of up to 300 words or a proposal for workshop should be sent to iatis.wb@gmail.com.

Conference Proceedings

A selection of peer-reviewed papers will be published in the electronic book of proceedings with an ISBN.

Indonesia, but some also came from other countries, including Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa. A meeting between UNNES officials and overseas delegates was also arranged to explore opportunities for international collaboration

Conference Sessions:

Under the theme of Translation and Cultural Identity, there were two keynote sessions given by Dr Şebnem Susam-Saraeva (University of Edinburgh, UK) and Dr. Carol O’ Sullivan (University of Portsmouth, UK) and two featured sessions by the President of IATIS, Professor Juliane House (Hamburg University, Germany and American Hellenic University, Greece), and  Professor John Milton (University of São Paulo, Brazil). The topics of the talks ranged from widening the scope of translation, translation as intercultural communication, to the expression of cultural identity in subtitling, and the history of the development of Translation Studies in Brazil. In addition, there were 13 parallel sessions, presenting translation of literary works, pedagogy of translation, audiovisual translation and the translation of sacred texts.  A panel session with the plenary speakers concluded the program, focusing on support and networking opportunities available for Translation Studies research.

Cultural events at the conference:

As a conservation university, UNNES has a mission to support the protection, preservation, utilization and sustainable development of the natural and cultural resources of Indonesia.  In line with this mission, and to give the delegates a taste of the rich Indonesian culture, a cultural night entitled Conserving the Diversity of Indonesian Cultures complemented the academic program.  Some Javanese gamelan music and dances from different parts of Indonesia were performed by UNNES students. 

For the delegates to gain not only academic but also cultural and social insight, a tour of Semarang city as well as package tours of Borobudur temple, Prambanan temple, and Yogyakarta city were also organized.

Workshop Outcomes:

Participants—including the organizing committee, felt that the conference was fruitful as it gave them insight into the wide range of topics within Translation Studies that they had been unaware of before.  The panel discussion on research in translation and intercultural studies was especially useful as the interactive nature of the session meant that participants were exposed to different points of view within the discipline. Feedback from participants, who highly appreciated the opportunity to interact with scholars internationally, has been very positive.

Institution—the workshop was one of the first events that brought international scholars working on translation studies to the university. The dinner and meeting between UNNES representatives and the overseas delegates gave UNNES staff an opportunity for international networking with overseas universities. The organizing committee also looks forward to better networking among scholars of Translation and Intercultural Studies in the region following this workshop.  It is also hoped that a Masters Program in Translation Studies will be established at the university in the not too distant future.

This IATIS Regional Workshop will explore the diversity of translation practices which challenge the myth that the singular translator could or indeed should assume the place of an “original” author. We hope to encourage scholars to think about the collaborative dimension to all forms of translation, past and present, and to interrogate how creative practices are negotiated within institutional contexts. We welcome contributions which present collaborative translation histories and practices from beyond Europe, thereby contextualizing Western thinking about translation.

The European history of translation has witnessed a tension between an individualistic and a collaborative approach to translation. From Antiquity to the Renaissance, translation was commonly practised by teams comprised of specialists of different languages. At the centre of translation teams experts from different cultures came together to find solutions to translation problems, and the acts of reading and re-writing were commonly separated and multiplied between participants. During the Renaissance, however, prefaces and tracts which discussed translation focused more and more upon an imputed singular act of translation. Indeed, the demands for unity within institutions and discourses of Early-Modern Europe—such as the standardizing of language and the consolidating of faith, household, state, monarchy and Church under their respective singular patriarchs—were coupled with demands for poetic unity in action, time, place and style. These pressures were felt in Renaissance theorizations of translation, which gave priority to an individualist model of translation at the expense of competing ones, such as collaborative translation. Devolving upon the individual the task which was often performed by the many allowed those writing about translation to imagine the translator to be a text’s surrogate author, at once giving the translator the daunting task of equalling the comprehension of the author in the author’s tongue and matching that author’s skill and style in another. The Renaissance thus paved the way for a new concentration on the individual translator, who found his, and rarely her, apogee during the Romantic period, when the writer as artist was idealized as the singular figure inspired with an immaterial, even spiritual, genius, and, following Walter Benjamin’s celebrated reading, one capable of offering up fragments of an ideal language. Nevertheless, Translation Studies broadly accepts Venuti’s argument that in the Modern period a desire emerged to efface the existence and creativity of the translator. Yet a less accepted notion is that this period also gave rise to the fabrication of the myth of the translator as a singular surrogate author. Indeed, translation has rarely, if ever, been an unmediated exchange where one person works in front of a text in isolation from their collaborators and peers, their editors and publishers, their country and its institutions.

The IATIS Regional Workshop in June 2014 is a three-day conference hosted by the University of Paris 8 ­– Vincennes-Saint-Denis. It focuses on this repressed history of collaborative translation in order to recontextualize translation practices today. In particular, we invite papers which address how new technologies and the internet have expanded the potential for collaborative practices through the use of translation memories, cloud translation, fan sourcing, translation by web communities etc. But we also strongly encourage papers which bring these practices into relief, and so we encourage proposals for papers which might also consider the following topics, without being limited by them:

• the history of collaborative translation;
• collaboration in translation outside the West, today and in the past;
• the cooperation between communities of different cultures for the transmission of their learning, science and literature;
• pseudo-collaboration and the politics of translating collectively (conflict, negotiation, tactics, power...)
• collaborations between authors and translators;
• the exchanges, desires and compromises between translators, correctors, editors, and publishers;
• collaborations between different parties involved in translating for the theatre, the opera and the cinema;  the influence of companies and public and private institutions in these industries;
• the influence of affect or the human and interpersonal dimension in exchanges between parties to collaborative translation;
• the nature of virtual exchanges and their influence upon translation;
• the effects of institutional pressures to translate collaboratively to increase "efficiency";
• the challenges of archiving collective works and problems generated by collective authorship.

Cette rencontre européenne IATIS se propose d’explorer la diversité des pratiques traductives qui remettent en question le mythe selon lequel le traducteur pourrait, voire devrait endosser le rôle d’auteur « original ». Nous invitons les chercheurs à réfléchir à la dimension collaborative de toutes les formes de traduction, passées et présentes, mais aussi à s’interroger sur la manière dont se négocient les pratiques créatives dans des contextes institutionnels. Toutes les contributions s’intéressant à l’histoire et aux pratiques collaboratives par delà des frontières de l’Europe seront les bienvenues, ce qui permettra de recontextualiser ainsi la pensée de la traduction en Occident. L’histoire de la traduction en Europe est en effet marquée par une tension entre approche individualiste et approche collaborative.

De l’Antiquité à la Renaissance, des équipes de spécialistes multilingues pratiquaient communément la traduction. Des experts travaillaient de conserve à la résolution de problèmes de traduction au sein de telles équipes. Qui plus est, nettement distincts les uns des autres, les actes d’écriture et de lecture se trouvaient répartis entre les différents collaborateurs. Au cours de la Renaissance, les pratiques changent : les préfaces ou les traités portant sur la traduction mettent au contraire en valeur l'unicité implicite de l’acte traductif. En effet, l’exigence d’unicité au sein des institutions et des discours aux débuts de l’époque moderne en Europe (comme la standardisation linguistique et la consolidation de la foi, du foyer, de l’État, de la monarchie et de l’Église sous l’autorité de la figure unique de leurs patriarches respectifs) se conjugue alors avec l’exigence d’unité poétique : unité d’action, de temps, de lieu et de style. À la Renaissance, ces tensions se reflètent dans la manière dont on théorise alors la traduction. On privilégie un paradigme traductif individualiste au détriment d’autres modèles concurrents, tel celui de la traduction collaborative. Dès lors que l’on a délégué à l’individu une tâche souvent accomplie par un collectif, les théoriciens ont pu imaginer le traducteur comme le substitut de l’auteur du texte, lui confiant une mission redoutable : il s’agissait de rivaliser avec l’entendement de l’auteur dans sa propre langue, tout en égalant son talent et son style dans une autre. C’est ainsi qu’à la Renaissance, on a commencé à se focaliser sur la figure du traducteur en tant qu’individu. Cette représentation du traducteur, et rarement de la traductrice, atteint toutefois son apogée au cours de la période romantique. On idéalise alors l’écrivain en tant qu’artiste : c’est un être unique et inspiré, doué d’un génie immatériel, voire spirituel, capable de révéler les fragments d’une langue idéale, selon la célèbre interprétation de Walter Benjamin. L’argument de Lawrence Venuti, selon lequel la volonté d’oblitérer l’existence du traducteur et de réprimer sa créativité aurait émergé pendant la période moderne, fait l’objet d’un large consensus dans le champ des études traductologiques. Cependant, selon une théorie moins répandue, le mythe du traducteur en tant que figure individuelle se substituant à l’auteur aurait également vu le jour à cette période. En effet, la traduction s’est rarement réduite à la confrontation d’une personne unique avec un texte, laquelle aurait travaillé isolément, loin de ses collaborateurs et de ses pairs, de ses relecteurs et de ses éditeurs, de son pays et de ses institutions.

Cette rencontre européenne IATIS se tiendra en juin 2014 à l’université Paris 8 Vincennes – Saint-Denis et se déroulera sur trois jours. On se concentrera sur l’histoire refoulée de la traduction collaborative. Il s’agira de recontextualiser ainsi les pratiques traductives contemporaines. Les participants s’intéresseraient à la façon dont Internet et les nouvelles technologies déploient l’éventail des pratiques collaboratives grâce aux mémoires de traduction, à la traduction dans les nuages, à l’externalisation distribuée en direction des fans, ou encore à la traduction communautaire en ligne etc. Les propositions qui mettront en exergue ces pratiques seront les bienvenues. C’est pourquoi nous encourageons les participants à aborder les questions suivantes, sans que cette liste ne soit ni limitative ni exhaustive :

• l’histoire de la traduction collaborative
• les coopérations entre communautés de différentes cultures visant à assurer la diffusion de leur savoir, de leur science et de leur littérature
• les « pseudo-collaborations » et les enjeux politiques de la traduction à plusieurs mains (conflits, négociations, tactiques, rapports de force...)
• les collaborations entre auteurs et traducteurs
• les échanges, désirs et compromis qui se nouent entre traducteurs, correcteurs, relecteurs et éditeurs
• les collaborations entre les différentes parties impliquées dans la traduction pour le théâtre, l’opéra et le cinéma
• l’influence des compagnies, comme des institutions publiques et privées sur ces industries
• l’influence de l’affect ou de l’humain et de l’interpersonnel dans les échanges entre les parties engagées dans la traduction collaborative
• la nature des échanges virtuels et leur impact sur la traduction
• l’impact des pressions exercées par les institutions qui poussent au travail collaboratif pour accroître « l’efficacité » de la traduction
• les défis de l’archivage des traductions collectives et les questions de propriété intellectuelle que soulève la notion d’autorité collective

Date limite d’envoi des propositions : 1^er octobre 2013.

Langues de travail : anglais et français.

Multilingualism has an increasing impact on societies world-wide and this necessarily implies an increase in the use and visibility of language practitioners. The main role of language practitioners is to improve multilingual transfer and as a result guarantee levels of equality as envisaged for multilingual societies. Papers could inter alia focus on the impact language practitioners have on the multilingual transfer and sharing of all types of information exchange involved in multilingual communication. Papers could also focus on how better understanding of complex cultural and/or ideological diversity in multilingual communities is brought about by the intervention of language practitioners. The scope of articles could range from e.g. literary translation, film subtitling, and educational or community interpreting to the editing of legal documents or newspaper articles.

Given the wide range of potential topic areas under the heading of pedagogical approaches, the training event will limit discussions to two main areas

1)  The position of language in the training programme

Potential discussion points could include (but are not limited to):

-          issues of training into the main language;

-          the role of English in training programmes;

-          the nature and value of bidirectional training.

-          How language generic can/should a training programme be

2)   Learner styles in interpreter training programmes

Potential discussion points:

-          blended learning approaches;

-          peer / self-assessment;

-          group / pair / individual training;

-          prescriptive/constructivist approaches

-          use of technologies (e.g. videoconferencing in interpreting)

-          the trainee interpreter training trajectory.

The event leaders (Dr Julie Boeri, Pompeu Fabra, Dr Svetlana Carsten, University of Leeds, and Dr Rebecca Tipton, University of Manchester) will present position papers covering a number of the issues suggested above and then invite discussion from participants afterwards.

The event will run online via Blackboard Collaborate.

Delegates will be sent a link to join the vent at the time.

Minimal technical requirements are needed. Speakers or headphones and microphone (or a headset).

Delegates will be able to interact with the speaker via the text chat or voice, in case they have a microphone.

[Abstract]

For the first time in English, Anthony Cordingley brings together scholars from around the world to focus on self-translation and its practitioners. The self-translator challenges concepts of originality, fidelity and also of invisibility as well as the conventional binary opposition of source and target texts. The essays in this volume draw on a range of disciplines, including Cultural Studies, Sociology, History, Psychoanalysis and Postcolonial Studies, to illuminate a hitherto neglected aspect of Translation Studies.

Call for Abstracts

Contemporary translation is a highly technologized, networked activity. The last two decades have seen translation memory tools become standard, and Statistical Machine Translation in particular is now being integrated into many translation workflows. At the same time, translators have greater access to external digital and human resources than ever before: they can draw on vast online corpora and terminological holdings in the course of their work, and they can collaborate with remote colleagues or complete strangers on shared tasks. Text reuse and recycling have become commonplace, as has the collaborative production of translations by professionals and non-professionals alike.

These developments have raised a number of questions about how we view translation and translators, and how translators view themselves. The ongoing evolution of translation also means that we need new ways of understanding the cognitive processes involved in translation, a more expansive ethics of translation, and constant reappraisal of how and what we teach translators. Changing parameters in the production of translated texts demand that we investigate the effects of such changes on the reception of translated texts.

Translation Studies researchers from Humanities and Social Sciences backgrounds have addressed these and other questions from many perspectives, using different methodologies. Observational work-place and experimental research has attempted to capture and interpret data on how translators interact with tools and resources. Ethnographic methods have been used to allow translators to 'speak for themselves' in constructing a picture of the sociotechnical context in which they work. Corpus-based research has looked at how translation and translators are represented in key texts by significant stakeholders. Usability studies have sought to investigate what effects – if any – new modes of translation production have on users of translation. Philosophical work has questioned how digital technologies in particular are causing us to shift our understanding of what translation is.

The 2015 IATIS yearbook seeks to explore the rich variety of ways in which current Humanities and Social Science scholarship is dealing with the complex relationships between technology, translation, and the people who create and use translations. Papers addressing any of the areas mentioned above, using any appropriate methodology or theoretical framework, are welcome. While it is anticipated that many papers will deal with contemporary digital technologies, historical approaches to translation technology will also be welcome. Other (non-exhaustive) areas of possible interest include:

· Collaborative translation platforms for professional or non-professional translators

· TM and MT and their effects on the linguistic make-up of texts

· TM and MT and their effects on the cognitive, collaborative or social processes of translation

· the role of (free on-line) MT in foreign language learning

· the role of MT in translator training

· MT and the translation profession

· lingua francas, pivot languages, and MT

· human-computer interaction, language and translation

· the role of language/translation technologies in constructing linguistic landscapes

· the ethics of machine translation

We are now calling for 500-word abstracts for papers addressing the theme of the yearbook.

The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 01 August 2014.

Abstracts should be sent by email to: dorothy.kenny@dcu.ie with 'IATIS Yearbook' in the subject line.

Translation under Negotiation. The Textual Interplay of Translators and Editors in Contemporary Finnish Shakespeare Translation

Nestori Siponkoski, University of Vaasa, FINLAND

[Abstract]

Automated translation services such as Google Translate have become widely available at no cost. Due to their ease of access and improving quality, they have become a tool that enables access to expression of ideas that may otherwise remain closed to readers who are not conversant in the language they are written in. Given the technology’s capacity, to some it may be a shortcut to circumvent language acquisition, while to others it may be a facilitator to learning. Either way, arguably, it provides access to knowledge that was previously harder to obtain.

Perhaps one of the key questions is whether it is to be viewed as a facilitator or as a risk to learning and student development and as a tool that is to be welcomed or treated with suspicion by institutions. If it is a facilitator, then how can it be integrated as useful tool into the curriculum? If it is a risk, then how can it be controlled and legislated? These and many other questions remain, at present, unanswered, but they are in need of addressing.

In that light, this event is of relevance to students, teachers, assessors, policy makers, and ethics/misconduct officers in secondary and tertiary education.

We are accepting proposals for individual presentations, panels and workshops that address the role of automated translation technology in education. We aim to include a range of topics, possibly from, but not limited to the areas of automated translation technology and:

• language acquisition
• independent language learning
• academic literacies
• translator training
• interpreter training
• in the classroom
• assessed work
• the user/student perspective
• research activities
• ethical concerns

For individual papers, each contribution will consist of a 20-minute presentation and a 10-minute Q&A session. Proposals should include:

• Title
• Abstract of up to 300 words
• Speaker bio of up to 50 words for each speaker

Panels/workshops will be 90 minutes in length. Proposals should include:

• Title
• Abstract of up to 300 words
• Organisers: names and affiliations of moderator and participants (if known)
• Proposed format, including a draft schedule and summary of how the session would run/engage with the audience
• Participant information: expected number of and information about participants, if known
• Special requests or needs for equipment

Please submit your proposals to: klaus.mundt@nottingham.ac.uk or yvonne.lee@nottingham.ac.uk 

Submission deadline: 31 March 2019

Date of the event: 5 July 2019

NORMATIVITY AND RESILIENCE
in Translation and Culture
27 – 29 May 2019
Norms can be broadly defined as some kind of protection from change, a prescribed standard whose violation
involves distortion and deformation, a transformation into something which the normal thing is not. Though
derived from carpentry, the art of construction of rigid objects (norma is the Latin word for carpenter's square),
normativity has become a measure of things more evanescent than furniture – of ethical, social, aesthetic or
political judgements, of certain cultural norms which may seem to be universal only given that they survive the
test of being transferred, or translated, to other cultures. If, as Yuri Lotman noted in his Universe of the Mind
(1990), “the elementary act of thinking is translation” (143), then translation can be viewed as a crucial activity
involved in the formation of cultures along with their concepts, conceptualizations and norms. However, since
translation, as a kind of dialogue, is inevitably asymmetrical and assumes only “a degree invariancy” (143), this
degree seems to be an effect of culture’s resilience to the inadequacy and change involved in any kind of
translation. Paradoxically, it is the change, the rupturing of the norm in and through translation which is a
constitutive element of normativity. This “rupturing of the norm,” wrote Lotman, “is what builds up the image of
the truly essential but unrealized norm” (90). Thus normativity is both a matter of representation and something
which may be called a feature of the world, the latter possibility figuring as an unrealizable effect of broadly
understood translation which simultaneously protects and disrupts it. Looking at the ideas of norm and
normativity in culture in the context of translation we would like to think about various locations of what may be
called normative ‘ought’ statements, sometimes implicitly dictating our choices of words and ideas; the quiet
demands of discourse to retain norms despite various perturbations. The ‘ought’ statements of normativity, of
retaining the norm, seem to be an important aspect of management of resistance whose significant function is,
as Judith Butler claims in Vulnerability in Resistance, concealment of destitution (8). The ‘ought’ of resilience has
become not only the desired good of neoliberalism, but also, as she puts it, “a force to be reckoned within the
realm of hegemonic ethics of and truths about the self” (53). One of the tasks of the conference is to attempt, at
least provisionally, to locate the whereabouts of such ‘ought’ statements, the teachings of imaginary security
and certainty consisting in the ability of jumping into prior shape.
We invite papers and presentations approaching the issues of translation, normativity and resilience from
possibly broadest theoretical and methodological perspectives such as Translation Studies, Linguistics, Literary
Criticism, Critical Theory, Cultural Studies, Feminist and Gender Studies, Queer Theory, Philosophy, Sociology,
History of Ideas, Colonial and Postcolonial Studies ..., realizing that a strictly single-disciplinary approach is
nowadays hardly thinkable. We suggest the following, broad, thematic suggestions as a map showing a few
orientation points of the conference:
resilience as adaptation
norm and nature
normativity and originality
normativity and creativity
normalcy and creativity
normative translation
normativity and ethics
norm and its others
language of the norm
normativity and meaning
limits of normativity
normal / accepted
rules / norms / idiosyncrasy
rules / norms / transgressions
adherence / infringement / violation
resilience / conformity
resilience / immunity
resilience vs. resistance
normative modification
resilience and standardization
resilience and empowerment
resilience and retaliation
norm as domination
resilience and change
prescriptive vs. normative
normality and monstrosity
resilience and adaptability
resilience and plasticity
resilience as vulnerability
uncertainty and norm
control and resilience
translation and adaptation
translation and change
cultures in translation
resilience as recovery
normativity, resilience, survival
Keynote speakers:
Professor Tomasz Basiuk, University of Warsaw
Professor Luise von Flotow, University of Ottawa
Professor Xuanmin Luo, Guangxi University and Tsinghua University
Professor David Malcolm, SWPS University of Social Sciences and Humanities
Proposals for 20-minute papers (ca 250 words) should be sent to normativity@swps.edu.pl by 10 March 2019.
We also encourage panel proposals comprised of 3 to 4 papers, and an additional 100-150 words explaining
how they are interlinked in addressing the panel theme.
Notification of acceptance will be sent by 15 March 2019.
The deadline for registration and payment of the conference fee: 15 April 2019.
Participants will be invited to submit extended versions of their presentations to be published in an edited
volume.
The conference fee is 590 PLN | 140 EUR | 160 USD for all participants.
