Journal/Collection Title: TRANSLATING AMERICA
Editor(s): XX BIENNIAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
TURIN, ITALY, SEPTEMBER 24-26, 2009
Publisher: http://www.aisna.net/
Theme/Working Title: America in European News Media
Length of Proposals & Deadline for Submission: The official call for papers will soon be published on www.aisna.net
"America in European News Media" will be one of the panels.
Descriptive Summary: Translation in global news has been a burgeoning field of research in the last few years, and as news texts are not only “translated” in the interlingual sense, but also reshaped and transformed in many different ways, the very definition of translation is challenged. Events and politics from America have arguably played a pivotal role in the globalizing trend that has characterised news media as we know them today. 9/11, “the war on terror” and the last presidential elections, just to name a few, have been dictating the global news agenda for very extended stretches of time, thus marking the now closing decade. Moreover, the widespread use of the Internet and the technical developments in the realm of media, such as news satellite real-time transmission, also originated in the United States.
Consequently, analysing the way in which America is “translated” by news media, whether mainstream or grassroots, can prove a very productive way of understanding trends of global news translation and distribution while, at the same time, providing a closer insight into aspects of American politics and society and their reception in Europe. The key questions we want to explore are: how do American political institutions present their own political aims and practices outside the US and particularly to the European public? How do European media translate information about events and issues from the US? How are these translations (and/or original texts) transformed in recontextualisation processes from their original to publication in the media? How does America react to discourse produced in other countries and languages about the way their own policies are represented by others?
Critical contributions to any of these or other related issues from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives are welcomed.

“I found a bunch of videos on the Internet of bodies falling. They were on a Portuguese site, where there was all sorts of stuff they weren't showing here, even though it happened here. Whenever I want to try to learn about how Dad died, I have to go to a translator program and find out how to say things in different languages, like 'September,' which is 'Wrzesien,' or 'people jumping from burning buildings,' which is ‘Menschen, die aus brennenden Gebäuden springen.' Then I Google those words. It makes me incredibly angry that people all over the world can know things that I can't, because it happened here, and happened to me, so shouldn't it be mine?"

Descriptive Summary: The theme proposed to our colleagues has been so designed as to allow a sufficient scope for a wide range of questions generated by the act of translation to be duly represented in the course of the discussion, our premises being that:
- one does not translate languages but texts ;
- today, translation is no longer to be considered as an end-product (the final text), but a dynamic interpretive and communicative process requiring extra-textual aspects (the socio-cultural context of the source text and that of the target text) to be taken stride.
On the borderline where two languages part ways translation establishes bridges and works out the bonds needed for cultural values to move around and enrich the world. More than ever, in our modern world in which we have such a rapid flow of knowledge owing to the development of means of transport, the mediating role of Translation proves to be indispensable.
"One man, one idea: two men, two ideas. This is what makes the village live." So will the elders of Mali say. This truth is equally valid for us today as we dream of founding a "global village".
Axes:
I. TRANSLATION
- Source-seekers and target seekers facing the problem of faithfulness
- Translability and untranslatability
- What didactic back up for teaching translation?
II. MULTI-DISCIPLINARITY
- Translation and Interpretation
- Translation and communication (context of enunciation and reception)
- Translation, information technology and language industries.

Journal/Collection Title: Open Gate
Editor(s): Maria Kasandrinou
Publisher: www.dr-maria.com
Theme/Working Title: Health and Safety and…translation
Length of Proposals & Deadline for Submission: Abstract length: Abstracts should be approximately 300 words.
Article length depends on the subject matter, but as a rough guide most features should be in the region of 2,500 - 5,000 words. Contributions for columns: 500 - 1,000 words.
Deadlines:
(a) abstract submissions: 15th November 2008.
(b) completed contribution submission:
15th December 2008
Descriptive Summary: The special focus for the second issue of the Open gate is: “Health and Safety and…translation.”
Health and Safety regulations are a part of every day life for the vast majority of businesses especially those in construction or those who deal with chemicals of any kind. It is also a fact of life that such businesses need to have health and safety datasheets and other documents translated because they either buy from or sell to other countries or because the employ people whose first language is different from that the business uses. Recent research shows that health and safety translation is not as safe as it should be. Many questions need to be addressed and the list below is by no means exhaustive:
What are the challenges of health and safety translation?
Who translates health and safety documents for companies and smaller businesses?
What qualifications and/or subject specific knowledge should the translator have?
What are the consequences of a “wrong” translation?
What does the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act of 2007 mean?
What liability does the translator have?
What is the real cost of health and safety translations?
What can be done to educate clients to choose a qualified translator?

Journal/Collection Title: SYMPOSIUM: UNIVER-CITIES: TRANSLATION, LANGUAGES AND INTERNATIONALIZATION.
Editor(s): José Lambert and Catalina Iliescu
Publisher: http://www.ua.es/personal/iliescu/univercities
Theme/Working Title: UNIVER-CITIES: TRANSLATION, LANGUAGES AND INTERNATIONALIZATION.
Length of Proposals & Deadline for Submission: Papers involve a 20-minute presentation in English, Spanish, French or German,
followed by a 10-minute discussion. Please send maximum 300-word abstracts (in English, Spanish, French or German) including keywords, together with a 100-word biodata paragraph by 10th September 2008 to the organizing committee (univercities@gmail.com).
Given the holiday period in several European countries, the final deadline for abstract submission will be the 10th of September 2008.
Successful proposals will be notified of their acceptance by 15th September 2008
Descriptive Summary: The University of Alicante is pleased to announce the forthcoming symposium UNIVER-CITIES: TRANSLATION, LANGUAGES AND INTERNATIONALIZATION.
Globalization and intercultural interaction, as key concepts of our society, seem to be contributing to changing traditional universities into actual univer-cities, where curricula, goals, ways of communication, staff members and target groups –among others– are being redefined. The question now is whether academic societies will really be able to function as "universe-cities" when sticking to the traditional language and translation approaches which are used within the nation-state model.
The aim of this symposium, therefore, is to find out and discuss the exact implication(s) of the various communicative changes entailed by the internationalization (globalization) of language (and translation) strategies. In order to go beyond the translation/languages field and open our perspective to other disciplines, we welcome paper presentations discussing research in relation to any of the following areas:
• Languages, multilingualism and society
• Translation/Interpreting studies in the global era
• Translation and social psychology
• Organization theory and univer-cities
• Translation and political studies
• The international book market
• The (print/audiovisual) media world
