Deadline: 15 June 2012
Translation is a complex and on-going process that requires both linguistic and cultural adaptation. Translation can challenge, shape or maintain the identity of both source and target cultures, where the translator becomes a negotiator between the two poles. The translator negotiates different challenges in order to produce translations that will be acceptable to target cultures. However, this negotiation is all the more difficult within a multilingual and multicultural context. This workshop will focus on various aspects of how translation relates to the target readers' culture, examining various aspects from the political and sociocultural to the textual and technological. The workshop will comprise parallel paper presentation sessions, plenary sessions as well as a panel discussion by keynote speakers.
