1st ULICES Conference on Translation Studies &#8220;Voice in Indirect Translation&#8221;Venue: Faculty of Letters, University of LisbonDate: 10-11 July 2013Call for papersTranslation takes place in an international field strongly marked by power relations between dominant and dominated national languages and cultures.&#160; In order to understand each translation, it is necessary to take into account the positions of both source and target languages as well as the standing of a wide range of possible intervening agents &#8211; author, translator, editor, publishing houses, television channels, distributors, academia and industry, to name but a few &#8211; within national cultures and the international cultural market.&#160;&#160;This conference offers a forum for the joint discussion of the concepts of voice and indirect translation. Voice is a frequently used concept since Schiavi and Hermans used it to study translation in terms of the presence of the translator&#8217;s voice in both text and paratext (Target 8:1. 1996). Indirect translation is defined as &#8220;based on a source (or sources) which is itself a translation into a language other than the language of the original, or the target language&#8221; (Kittel and Frank eds. 1991. Interculturality and the Historical Study of Literary Translations. Berlin: Erich Schmidt. 3).Research on indirect translation and voice has focused mainly on interpreting (relay interpreting) and literary translation. However, indirect translation is a phenomenon verifiable in other areas such as scientific, technical and audiovisual translation, always involving the negotiation of a plurality of voices, be they textual, paratextual or contextual.&#160;We invite proposals for 20-minute papers offering case studies various text types, language pairs and translation directions as well as theoretical, methodological and terminological oriented studies.Suggested topics&#160;include but are not restricted to:Mapping intercultural transfersThe analysis of voice(s) in (in)direct translationIndirectness in interpreting, literary, technical, scientific and audiovisual translationThe role of agents, their choices, and interventionsThe consecration of languages, cultures, genres, authorsProfiling a (trans)national literature (in periodicals, volumes, film, radio, TV)Presenting a (trans)national literature (in prefaces, collections, anthologies national historiography, literary historiography)Theoretical, methodological and terminological issues in researching indirect translationKeynote SpeakersLieven D&#8217;hulst, KU Leuven, BelgiumCecilia Alvstad, University of Oslo, NorwayConference LanguagesPapers may be presented in English and Portuguese.Submissions&#160;(in English) for double-blind vetting should be sent to&#160;&#160;jet1.ulices@gmail.com and they should include:&#160;Title of PaperNameInstitutional AffiliationAbstract (500 words in English)&#160;Bio-Note (max. 100 words, mentioning main research interests, projects and selected publications)Audiovisual RequirementsLanguage of Presentation (English or Portuguese)5 KeywordsDeadline for proposals:&#160;30 May 2013Communication of Acceptance:&#160;until 11 June 2013Email:&#160;jet1.ulices@gmail.comWebsite:&#160;www.etc.ulices/jetPublicationThe organization plans to publish a volume of selected papers to be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed or special issue collection by an international publisher.
