Call for papers for the special issue: “Translating and Interpreting Linguistic and Cultural Differences in a Migrant Era”

The next monographic issue of the I-LanD Journal will be centred on exploring the role which translation and interpreting play as activities which potentially foster the recognition or misrecognition of, amongst others, sexual, ethnic, racial and class differences in an era of great waves of migrations, and will be edited by Eleonora Federici (University L'Orientale, Naples), and Rosario Martín Ruano and África Vidal Claramonte (University of Salamanca). Contributions should adhere to any of the following: 

Translating gender and sexualities; 

Translation and interpreting as cultural mediation; 

Spark: A 4C4Equality Journal
