TZID:Europe/London
LOCATION:Bangor\, United Kingdom
DESCRIPTION:<p>Translation Studies has come of age\, evidenced by proclamations of a&nbsp\;series of intellectual &lsquo\;turns&rsquo\;\, most prominently a &lsquo\;cultural turn&rsquo\; in&nbsp\;the 1990s followed by a &lsquo\;sociological turn&rsquo\; in the last decade.&nbsp\;Whilst also a &lsquo\;power turn&rsquo\; and an &lsquo\;ideological&rsquo\; turn have been&nbsp\;suggested\, there is a lack of self-awareness and self-reflection on&nbsp\;our own entanglement within contemporary power structures\, which are&nbsp\;largely driven by financial\, economic and technological&nbsp\;globalisation. This interdisciplinary conference aims to critically&nbsp\;interrogate central concepts such as &lsquo\;ideology&rsquo\; and &lsquo\;power&rsquo\; from&nbsp\;self-reflexive\, theoretical and practical perspectives. In view of&nbsp\;Jean Baudrillard&rsquo\;s suggestion that any theory of power\, in order to&nbsp\;be ethically credible\, must distinguish between relations of&nbsp\;dominance and hegemony\, we hope to bring together researchers\,&nbsp\;PhD-students\, translators\, writers and activists from varying&nbsp\;backgrounds to engage in a discussion about the impact of power on&nbsp\;the theory and practice of translation as well as on our own critical&nbsp\;reflections.</p>\n<p><strong>Potential topics for abstract proposals</strong></p>\n<p>Apart from paper proposals\, we are open to suggestions for a range of&nbsp\;discussion formats such as poster presentations or audio-recorded&nbsp\;roundtables. We are particularly interested in reflections on the&nbsp\;ideological effects of technological change on translation theory and&nbsp\;practice\, whether in the present or future. Paper proposals focusing&nbsp\;on any topic within the following two broad theoretical and practical&nbsp\;themes will be welcome.<br><br>Theories of Power and Ideology:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ideology\, Power and the different &lsquo\;Turns&rsquo\; in Translation Studies</li>\n<li>Power and Ideology from different disciplinary Perspectives</li>\n<li>Ideology and Power in relation to History\, Theory\, Practice and&nbsp\;Technology</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Discourse in Translation:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Critical Theory and Philosophy</li>\n<li>Capitalist Hegemony</li>\n<li>Political Ideologies</li>\n<li>Subversive and Underground Ideologies</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Please send a 250-word abstract and a mini-biography (max. 100 words)&nbsp\;by Friday 22 March 2013 to Dr Stefan Baumgarten&nbsp\;(s.baumgarten@bangor.ac.uk). Notification of acceptance of proposals&nbsp\;will be communicated by Friday 12 April 2013.</p>\n<p>For general enquiries about the conference and potential discussion&nbsp\;formats please contact Dr Yan Ying (y.ying@bangor.ac.uk) or Dr Jordi&nbsp\;Cornell&agrave\;-Detrell (j.cornella@bangor.ac.uk).</p>
