Francis Scott Fitzgerald Racconti, Francis Scott Fitzgerald (Feltrinelli) Intervengono Franca Cavagnoli e i suoi studenti Coordina Dori Agrosì Il traduttore racconta. Il traduttore è prima di tutto un lettore – un lettore implacabile, lo definiscono spesso gli scrittori tradotti – il lettore cui nulla sfugge: dalla perla in un testo che sembra quasi banale all’incongruenza mascherata, dalle citazioni nascoste al non detto, tradito magari dalla posizione di una sola parola. È dunque – e deve esserlo per tradurre – un lettore al quadrato o perfino al cubo: colui che entra nella lingua, nel pensiero, nelle emozioni del suo autore. Perché non chiedergli allora di raccontarci il libro che ha tradotto? Così da divenire a tutto tondo ciò che è già in parte come traduttore di un testo, ovvero un traghettatore di cultura da un paese all’altro, da una sensibilità all’altra? Non tanto, o non solo per descrivere il processo della sua traduzione, ma anche e soprattutto per restituirci, grazie al suo particolare occhio e orecchio, lo scrittore e il suo libro da una nuova prospettiva…

International Conference on Community Translation

CALL FOR PAPERS

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON COMMUNITY TRANSLATION

(ICCT 2014)

University of Western Sydney, 11-13 September 2014

Background:

‘Community translation’ or ‘public service translation’ refers to translation of different types of texts intended to facilitate communication between public services and people who do not have a good command of mainstream language(s). These texts may be produced by national or local authorities, non-governmental organisations, ethnic community organisations or leaders, neighbourhood associations, or any other social agent. They may include information leaflets, brochures, local newspapers, radio programs and websites among other genres and formats. The common denominator is that they are texts that need to be translated into minority languages in order to ensure communication with all citizens and residents and empower minority language speakers by giving them access to information and enabling them to participate in society.

Community interpreting and community translation are emerging subfields in translation studies. While community interpreting has attracted a considerable amount of scholarly attention, community translation has not received the interest it deserves in terms of research, publications and conferences. The Critical Link international conferences, which have given visibility to community language services, are understandably mostly about community interpreting. When they include papers on translation, these constitute only a minor portion. In training courses as well there seems to be more focus on community interpreting than community translation. Translation courses around the world tend to focus on literary translation, technical translation and, recently, audiovisual translation. Little attention has been given to the translation and intercultural communication skills needed to guarantee successful written communication between public services and those members of the community who are unable to read in the mainstream language(s).

The first International Conference on Community Translation will provide a high-profile forum for researchers and translation practitioners to share views, experiences and research findings. It will enhance the visibility of this subfield of study in current scholarly debate as well as among policymakers in areas related to language services, multiculturalism and human (communicative) rights. The proceedings of the event will offer current and future community translation students and researchers a valuable resource.

Topics:

The main topics to be covered in the first International Conference on Community Translation include, but are not limited to, the following:

– Community translation as a distinct subfield in translation studies

– Ideology, language policies and community translation services

– Power relationships: translating vs./as empowering

– Community translators and socio-cultural diversity

– Translating from and into minority languages

– Translating for temporary communities (e.g. international religious events, refugees and displaced people)

– Training in community translation

– Quality assurance in community translation

Plenary speakers:

Prof. Dorothy Kelly (Granada University, Spain)

Adjunct A/Prof. Uldis Ozolins (University of Western Sydney, Australia)

Dr. Harold Lesch (Stellenbosch University, South Africa)

Nested event:

The conference will include a series of nested workshops which will be specially designed for current and potential HDR candidates and run by internationally recognised researchers. The workshops will include:

1) Session on qualitative research methods in translation studies,

2) Session on quantitative research methods in TS,

3) Session on engaged research (research and local communities),

4) Feedback session for HDR and other students participating with papers or posters.

Abstract submission:

Abstracts for thirty-minute presentations, posters or panel discussions may be submitted at

Key dates:

Deadline for abstract submission: 30 March 2014

Notification of acceptance: 30 April 2014
